Suggested action
Ensure that the Integrity VM storage is properly configured with a whole LUN, ejectable DVD, or
virtual disk created using a Shared Logical Volume Manager (SLVM) Logical Volume (LV). The
Volume Group that contains the SLVM LV must have a container type of
CONTAINER_VOLUME_SLVM.
See HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration at
for more information.
Failure during virtual machine deletion leaves active but unpowered logical
server
The deletion of a virtual machine requires that it be registered; therefore, part of the delete operation
is to register the virtual machine.
The Report
→Logical Server Job Status... screen shows the progression of job detail messages for
the delete operation. If a virtual machine failure occurs for any reason during the interval between
registration and actual deletion, when the virtual machine is restarted, logical server management
sees a registered virtual machine and marks the associated logical server as active.
After the failure, the delete job appears to be incomplete, and the logical server is active, but not
powered on.
Suggested action
1.
Refresh Insight Control virtual machine management (VMM) server resources using the
Tools
→Logical Servers→Refresh... menu selection.
2.
Deactivate the logical server using the Tools
→Logical Servers→Deactivate... menu selection.
3.
Repeat the delete operation using the Delete
→Delete Logical Server... menu selection.
VM Hosts must be in same vCenter for ESX virtual machine logical server
moves
To move logical servers from one VM Host to another, the VM Hosts must be members of the same
VMware vCenter. Additionally, you can move ESX virtual machine logical servers among multiple
clusters, as long as the clusters are contained in one vCenter.
Performing operations on a logical server running as a VM Host
HP Insight Dynamics supports a logical server that is a physical server blade running a VM Host.
Insight Dynamics also supports logical servers that are guest VMs on that physical server. In order
to protect the VM guests from inadvertent operations, a logical server that is a physical server
running as a VM Host has the following restrictions:
•
Deactivate, move, power off, and delete operations on the VM Host logical server are not
supported while there are guest VM logical servers residing on the VM Host logical server.
You must move the guest VM logical servers off of the VM Host logical server before performing
any of these operations on the VM Host logical server.
•
Deactivate, move, power off, and delete operations on the VM Host logical server are not
supported while there are running jobs on a VM guest logical server or on the VM Host logical
server that could result in creating or leaving a VM guest logical server on the VM Host logical
server. If this occurs, re-identify the source and target server blades and VM Host. If the orphan
VM guest logical server remains after re-identification, unmanage the logical server and, if
necessary, remove its underlying resources.
