Minor Issues

A Virtual Machine Deleted Soon After Being Created Might Appear in Virtualization Manager

When using VM Manager from HP SIM with VSE, if you create a virtual machine and then delete it before the new virtual machine has been identified by HP SIM, the virtual machine might appear in Virtualization Manager as though it had not been deleted. The appearance of the virtual machine in Virtualization Manager depends on when the deletion occurred during the HP SIM identification process.

This is not an issue when using VM Manager from HP SMH.

Workaround

When using VM Manager with VSE to create a virtual machine, if you decide to delete the virtual machine soon thereafter, wait a few minutes before doing so. If the deleted virtual machine does appear in Virtualization Manager, delete it from the HP SIM All System view. (From the HP SIM Systems and Event Collections list in the navigation area on the left, select All Systems. For more information, see the HP Virtualization Manager Version 4.0 Getting Started Guide.)

	NOTE: Another disjunction between VM Manager actions and Virtualization Manager views might occur when you create a virtual machine using VM Manager and immediately return to Virtualization Manager. If HP SIM has not yet completed identifying the new virtual machine, the machine does not yet appear in Virtualization Manager. However, it appears when the identification process completes (usually within a minute or two).

Create Virtual Machine Wizard Next Steps Instructions Display Incorrect Command

The Next Steps screen that appears after you create a virtual machine using the VM Manager Create Virtual Machine wizard includes instructions for accessing the console. The instructions incorrectly advise specifying the -F option with the hpvmconsole command.

White Space Embedded with Data Might Be Displayed Incorrectly in Some VM Manager Views

Due to an issue with the Java CIM client, some screens (such as the screen displayed by selecting ViewVM Manager Version Information...) incorrectly display embedded white space in data fields. Some or all of the embedded white space might be omitted. For example, the version strings displayed on the VM Manager Version screen might be displayed as in the following example in which all white spaces are omitted:

HPVMA.03.50clearcaseoptWedMar12200805h58m31sPDT

The same version string displayed correctly is as follows:

HPVM A.03.50 clearcaseopt Wed Mar 12 2008 05h58m31s PDT

This issue has been seen only when using VM Manager from HP SMH. It has not been seen when using VM Manager from HP SIM with VSE Management Software.
