HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 85)

NOTE: If the virtual machine is being managed by gWLM, you cannot modify the vCPU
entitlement. When you access the Virtual Machine vCPU Entitlement page, the following error
message is displayed, where virtual-machine-name is the name of the virtual machine:
The processor entitlement for VM virtual-machine-name cannot be
modified because it is being managed by gWLM. To adjust the processor
entitlement for this VM, use gWLM to change the policy associated
with this VM.
To create or modify the gWLM policy for this virtual machine, use the Policy menu (available
when using VM Manager with Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX).
•
Virtual Machine Memory to modify the amount of memory for a selected virtual machine. If
the VM Host has Integrity VM 3.0 or later installed and the OS type for the VM supports
dynamic memory, the dynamic memory parameters are shown, and you can modify them.
You can also set the AMR chunk size value. AMR chunk size is the amount of memory that
the virtual machine can avail when there is a need for more memory to handle an increased
workload. This value appears in the Command preview field.
The default value is 256 MB. The minimum and maximum values are 32 MB and 600 MB
respectively.
The memory reallocation is effective only after the virtual machine is restarted. The VM Host
General tab lists the previous values till the virtual machine is restarted. The memory entitlement
size and the AMR chunk size values are displayed in the VM Host General tab
NOTE: An up-to-date version of the WBEM Utilization Provider (UP) must be installed on the
virtual machine to enable HP Capacity Advisor and the memory utilization meters in VM
Manager and Integrity VM to reflect the dynamic change in memory. For information about
verifying and installing software on virtual machines, see
“System and software requirements”
(page 13) and the HP Integrity Virtual Machines documentation.
•
Virtual Machine vCPU Count to modify the number of virtual CPUs for a selected virtual machine.
If supported by the version of Integrity VM running on the VM Host, you can modify the
minimum and maximum number of vCPUs to be allotted to the virtual machine. Changes take
effect when the virtual machine is restarted.
•
Virtual Machine VLAN Settings to modify the VLAN associated with the virtual machine.
•
Virtual Machine Hardware Auto Start to specify whether the virtual machine should start
automatically when Integrity VM is started or whether the virtual machine will be started
manually.
•
WBEM Credentials to set and change WBEM credentials for virtual machines.
•
Add Storage Devices to Virtual Machine to add storage devices for virtual machines.
