Using the Modify menu

The VM Manager Modify menu allows you to perform actions on a selected virtual machine.
The options displayed when you select the Modify menu using VM Manager from Insight
Dynamics are shown in

. The options are available only when you are in a VM Properties

view or in a view in which you have selected a virtual machine, such as on the VM Host Virtual
Machines

tab. You can only modify one virtual machine at a time.

If the virtual machine being modified is an HP Serviceguard package, you must make the same
modifications to the virtual machine on the other VM Hosts in the cluster.

NOTE:

When you use VM Manager from HP SMH, this menu includes an additional option

that allows you to modify WBEM credentials. This option can be available from any VM Manager
view.
