You access VM Manager through a web browser. For
information about accessing VM Manager from HP SMH, see “Accessing VM Manager from HP SMH”. For information
about accessing VM Manager from the VSE Management: Virtualization page in HP SIM, see the instructions in “Accessing VM Manager from HP SIM”. Information
about possible access failures and the messages that might be seen
is included in Appendix A. 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: 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 4.0 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. | | | | |
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 Figure 3-1, 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.) | | | | | NOTE: If you are accessing VM Manager for the first
time under HP SMH, you might encounter an End User License Agreement
(EULA), which you must accept to continue using the VM Manager product. | | | | |
If you have already saved WBEM credentials for
each virtual machine, selecting Integrity Virtual Machines
Manager displays the VM Host General tab as shown in Figure 3-2. If you have not set and saved WBEM credentials
for each virtual machine, the Set WBEM Credentials page is displayed first (instead of the VM Host General tab). An example of the Set WBEM Credentials page is shown in Figure 2-1. Enter the appropriate information and click OK, or click Cancel to skip this
step and advance to the VM Manager VM Host General tab. For more information about setting WBEM credentials,
see “Setting Security Credentials”. Accessing VM Manager from HP SIM | |
To use all the VM Manager facilities (view all
screens and perform all menu actions), you must have VSE All Tools
authorization. To access VM Manager from HP SIM, follow these
steps: From the HP SIM Home page, select Tools VSE Management, as shown in Figure 3-3.
The first time you start Virtualization Manager, the Visualization tab appears with the default Physical
and Virtual perspective, as shown in Figure 3-4. This perspective
shows all physical and virtual nodes in graphical compartments. When
you start Virtualization Manager any time after, the software checks
whether you had previously set a default view by modifying user preferences
(modify user preferences by selecting ConfigureUser Preferences... from the
Virtualization Manager menu bar). If you set a collection such as
VM Hosts, Virtualization Manager displays the collection for all VM
Hosts and virtual machines. Select the VM Host or virtual machine that you want to
manage. For example, in the Integrity VM representation shown in Figure 3-5 (a closeup
from the screen shown in Figure 3-4), 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.) When you select a VM Host monitor
icon, the VM Manager VM Host General tab is displayed. 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 Figure 3-5). When you select a virtual machine monitor
icon, the VM Properties General tab is displayed. The basic VM Manager views are described in “Using VM Manager Views and Tabs”.
