Operating Environment Software Manual

• Profile Move (Virtual Connect Only)
Moves a server connection profile within a BladeSystem enclosure (Virtual Connect Domain
Group).
• Live Move (ESX VM, Hyper-V, and Integrity VM Only)
Also known as Online Move. Moves a running virtual machine, its operating system, and
its applications from one VM Host to another VM Host without an operating system reboot
or application restart. All I/O connections to storage and networks remain active throughout
the move. Initiates VMware VMotion technology from HP SIM, and requires that vCenter
is installed and running.
• SAN-based Fast Move (ESX VM and Hyper-V Only)
Executes fast logical server moves between dissimilar host hardware.
• Copy Move (ESX VM and Hyper-V VM Only)
Moves a logical server to a target host within a VMM domain that is not connected to a SAN.
• Quick Move (Hyper-V VM Only)
Saves the state of a running guest virtual machine (memory of original server to disk/shared
storage), moves the storage connectivity from one physical server to another, and then
restores the guest virtual machine onto the second server (disk/shared storage to memory
on the new server). To select Quick Move, you must have checked Enable High Availability
when you created or modified the logical server before it was activated, the data store must
be shared in the MS Cluster, and the virtual machine must be in a cluster node.
• Unlike Move (ESX VM and Virtual Connect Only)
Moves a logical server from physical to virtual systems and virtual to physical systems. For
example, you can move a server with Virtual Connect logical server with a portable operating
system image to a virtual machine.
NOTE: When you are moving a High Availability-enabled Hyper-V virtual machine logical
server, only the Quick Move operation type is available.
Power on and off
The Tools→Logical Servers→Power On... or Tools→Logical Servers→Power Off... menu
selections power on or off a virtual machine or a server blade bay on which a logical server was
activated or moved.
You can verify that a server blade has started by logging into the Onboard Administrator.
Refresh server resources
The Tools→Logical Servers→Refresh... menu selection refreshes the logical server database
with the VM Manager, Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager, HP SIM logical server nodes, and
storage pool inventories. You might want to refresh if you create or remove inventory, by
performing actions such as:
• Importing a logical server
• Creating or deleting a VM Host
• Creating or deleting an enclosure in a Virtual Connect domain group
• Deleting a logical server mxnode
Refreshing is useful if, for example, you use VM Manager to create a new VM Host, then activate
a logical server. In that case, the new VM Host might not be listed as an available target on the
Assign Logical Servers to Target Hosts screen. If you select Tools→Logical Servers→Refresh...,
then Tools→Logical Servers→Activate..., the new VM Host will be an available target on
which you can activate the logical server.
