VMM provides tracking, monitoring, and control functions for VMware and MSVS virtual machines. You must have administrative rights to perform Virtual Machine Management Pack tasks. VMM configuration is accessed through the HP SIM menu selections Configure->Virtual Machine Host Registration and Configure->Virtual Machine Management. VMM tasks can be performed from the Options->Virtual Machine Management menu and from the virtual machine System Page.

TIP: The time to complete a virtual machine operation that involves file transfers takes longer when Network Attached Storage (NAS) volumes are used, because VMM shares a network connection with NAS. Set up separate networks for VMM and NAS.

The following VMM tasks appear on the HP SIM host or guest System Page:

  • Start/resume

  • Shutdown/stop

  • Pause

  • Reset/restart
