Virtual Machines Manager (also called VM Manager)
is a tool that system administrators use to create, monitor, and evaluate
HP Integrity Virtual Machines (Integrity VM). Integrity VM is software that allows the creation
of software-controlled Itanium-based virtual machines that share a single
set of physical hardware resources. Each virtual machine (VM) is a complete
environment in which a normal operating system can run. Like a real machine,
the virtual machine contains:
Other components of a computer
All these elements are virtual, meaning that they are at
least partially emulated in software rather than fully implemented in hardware.
VM Manager is the graphical user interface (GUI) for Integrity VM for
the management of a VM Host and its associated guests. The VM Host system
administrator uses VM Manager to create, manage, and monitor Integrity VM.
VM Manager provides graphical views of virtual-to-physical network and
storage, so you can visualize resources assigned to virtual machines. VM Manager
lets you view all virtual machines in a VM Host, including resource utilization
information.
VM Manager is available from either the HP System Management Homepage
(HP SMH) or through seamless integration with VSE Management Software components
in the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) on the Central Management Server
(CMS). For a complete list of the components in the VSE Management Software
suite, see the VSE Management Software Quick Start
Guide.
