(On) and the name of the VSP currently managing the VM or vPar (Serviceguard guest
package).

Operating System: Indicates the last OS type to be booted on this VM or vPar. If the VM or
vPar has never been booted, this field contains the value that was supplied when the VM or
vPar was created.

OS Status: Indicates the OS status for a VM or vPar, such as Up, Down, Initializing (indicating
that the VM or vPar has just been started and is being initialized — the OS is not yet active),
or In EFI (indicating that the VM or vPar is in the firmware interface and an OS has not yet

been booted). If the VM is migrating, an icon indicates the direction of migration (

indicates

migration to another VSP;

indicates migration from another VSP). If the VM is waiting to

migrate (when multiple VMs are selected to migrate, only one is migrated at a time), an

hourglass icon (

) indicates so; to view changes in migration status, click Refresh Data. For

a description of the status, position the cursor over the icon.

Boot Attribute: Indicates the hardware startup attribute for a VM or vPar, which determines
its startup behavior (that is, whether the VM or vPar is started automatically when the VM or
vPar boots or whether it must be manually started). To use Integrity Virtual Server Manager to
modify this attribute, click Modify

→ Hardware Auto Start.

Graceful Stop Timeout: If supported by the version of Integrity Virtual Server Manager running
on the VSP, this specifies the amount of time HP Integrity Virtual Server Manager waits for
I/O activity to complete before stopping a VM or vPar. The timeout value is set at the VSP
command line by using the hpvmmodify command.

Online Migration Enabled: Indicates whether the VM is enabled for online migration or whether
the VSP is not licensed to support online migration. The VSP administrator can enable a VM
by using the hpvmmodify command at the VSP. vPar does not support migration. The following
table shows in the third column what the status field displays, based on the state of the VSP
and VM listed in the first and second column, respectively:

Not Runnable Set By: Displayed when the VM has migrated to another VSP, indicates the
activity or agent that caused the VM hardware status to be Not Runnable. For example,
Migrate indicates the Not Runnable state was initiated by migration (hpvmmigrate); Admin
indicates the VM was marked Not Runnable by the hpvmmodify command.

Not Runnable Reason: Displayed when the VM has migrated to another VSP, indicates the
reason the VM hardware status is Not Runnable. For example, the guest has migrated to
another VSP.

Online Migration Phases

The VM Properties General tab displays the Online Migration Phases section when online migration
is in progress. An example is shown in

Figure 45

.

NOTE:

If you access the VM Properties General tab immediately after initiating a migration, the

Online Migration Phases section might not be displayed. To view this data, click Refresh Data.
