On the HP Matrix OE visualization Visualization tab, select the VM Host or virtual machine
that you want to manage. For example, in the Integrity VM representation shown in
(a closeup from the screen shown in
), you can select VM Host system
chili3
by clicking the monitor icon
beneath the VM Host name. (If you hover your cursor
over the icon, a pop-up pane displays explanatory text.) Selecting a VM Host monitor icon
displays the VM Manager VM Host General tab.
Alternatively, you can select one of the virtual machines running on VM Host chili3 by
clicking the similar but smaller icon beneath a virtual machine name (such as the monitor icon
for chili3a in
). Selecting a virtual machine monitor icon, displays the VM Properties
General tab.

Accessing VM Manager from HP SMH
To use all the VM Manager facilities (view all screens and perform all menu actions), you must log
in to HP SMH with Administrator privileges. To access VM Manager from HP SMH, follow these
steps:
1.
On the SMH Home page, click Tools.
NOTE:
SMH GUI sessions stop after the session timeout period elapses without any user
activity (by default, the session timeout period is 15 minutes). With HP SMH Version 2.2.7
December 2007 and later, you can prevent a session from timing out by selecting the Session
never expires check box in the upper right corner of the page. Even if the box is checked, the
SMH server might shut itself down to conserve system resources if there is a period of inactivity
from all users (by default, this timeout period is 30 minutes). All of the VM Manager Version
4.3.0 views and dialogs periodically issue short keepalive messages to the server to prevent
SMH from shutting itself down during your session. For more information about SMH session
management, see the smhstartconfig(1) and hpsmh(1) manpages.
2.
On the SMH Tools page, select Integrity Virtual Machine Manager from the Integrity Virtual
Machines Management menu box. In the SMH Tools page shown in
, the Integrity
Virtual Machines Management menu box appears in the lower right corner of the page. (Its
location varies, depending on the management tools that are available.) This example shows
the SMH list view. The SMH icon view displays icons instead of menu boxes. Look for the
Integrity Virtual Machines icon (
). To switch from one type of view to another, click one
of the the associated icons in the SMH header (to the right of the Management Processor
information).
