Virtual Machine Memory

page). These two values can be different if for some reason Integrity

VM cannot change the memory size to the specified value.

Memory

: The amount of memory configured for the virtual machine, which is the amount

of memory required to start VM (and is modifiable as such on the Modify

Virtual Machine

Memory

page).

If dynamic memory was enabled, the configuration table displays the following fields instead:
Memory Required to Start VM: The amount of memory needed for the virtual machine

to boot.

Initial Target for Memory Size After Boot: The value to which Integrity VM tries to

change the virtual machine memory immediately after it boots.

Minimum Memory Size: The lowest value to which the virtual machine can attempt

to dynamically decrease its memory while the OS is running.

Maximum Memory Size: The highest value to which the virtual machine can attempt

to dynamically increase its memory while the OS is running.

VM is Allowed to Control Memory Size: Indicates whether the Allow dynamic control

of memory size from the virtual machine is in effect. This control allows applications
running VM (for example, gWLM) to dynamically change the memory on the virtual
machine.

External Manager Information

gWLM Policy:

If the VM Host is being managed by gWLM and a policy has been assigned

to the virtual machine, the External Manager gWLM field displays the name of the gWLM
policy. If the VM Host is not managed by gWLM or if a policy has not been assigned to the
virtual machine, the gWLM field displays (none). With Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity,
if the virtual machine is managed by gWLM, the gWLM policy name is a hyperlink to gWLM.
Under HP SMH, if virtual machines are being managed by gWLM, the gWLM policy name
is text only (you cannot modify gWLM policies from HP SMH). In either case (using VM
Manager with Insight Dynamics or HP SMH), if the virtual machine is not being managed
by gWLM, this field displays (none).

Serviceguard Package:

If the virtual machine is being managed by HP Serviceguard, the

virtual machine package name is listed here. If the virtual machine is not being managed
by HP Serviceguard, this field displays (none).

VM Utilization Information

VM Utilization Information

: Displays resource utilization statistics for a virtual machine.

The utilization information is a 5-minute average that is calculated and updated on 5-minute
boundaries. If the utilization cannot be displayed, the utilization meter (bar graph) is dimmed
and a label indicates the probable cause. For a description of meter labels, see

“Utilization

meter status/error information” (page 127)

. When VM Manager runs with Insight Dynamics

-

VSE for Integrity, the utilization meters link to HP Insight Capacity Advisor software,

which records and displays utilization data. Click a meter to view the virtual machine
utilization history for virtual CPUs, memory, disk I/O, or network I/O; this feature is not
provided when using VM Manager from HP SMH. For an example utilization history screen
and more information about collecting and viewing utilization data, see

Chapter 7 (page 111)

.

VM Authorization Information

Authorized Administrators, Authorized Administrative Groups, Authorized Operators,
Authorized Operator Groups

: These fields indicate which users and groups have

administrator or operator authority.
