HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager 4.1 Software: User Guide

NOTE: You cannot start a virtual machine that is currently migrating online. You must wait
until migration completes. If the selected virtual machine has migrated to another VM Host (the
target), the virtual machine (on the source VM Host) is in the Not Runnable state: you cannot
start a virtual machine in this state.
To start one or more selected virtual machines, perform the following steps.
1. From the VM Host General tab, select the VM Host Vir tual Machines tab (or any tab that
allows you to select one or more virtual machines).
2. Select one or more virtual machines to start by clicking the appropriate check boxes.
Alternatively, you can access the VM Properties view, in which case no selection is necessary;
the virtual machine being viewed is implicitly selected.
3. Select Tools→Start Virtual Machine... from the VM Manager menu bar. A page similar to
that shown in Figure 6-1 is displayed.

4. In the example shown in Figure 6-1, two virtual machines will be started. A note near the
bottom of the screen indicates that two of the selected virtual machines are already started.
The Command Preview area shows the commands that Integrity VM will perform to start
the virtual machine.
Click OK to start the virtual machine.
When a virtual machine is started, it is in the On state (powered on). You can then perform the
functions you want.
