• Minimum Memory Size: The lowest value to which the VM or vPar can attempt to decrease
its memory while the OS is running.
• Maximum Memory Size: The highest value to which the VM or vPar can attempt to increase
its memory while the OS is running.
• VM or vPar is Allowed to Control Memory Size: Indicates whether the Allow dynamic control
of memory size from the VM or vPar is in effect. This control allows applications running Virtual
Server Manager (for example, gWLM) to dynamically change the memory on the VM or vPar.
• AMR is enabled: Indicates whether automatic memory reallocation (AMR) for a VM or vPar is
enabled or not. You can enable AMR only on Virtual Server Manager on which dynamic
memory control is enabled.
External Manager Information
• gWLM Policy: If the VSP is being managed by gWLM and a policy has been assigned to the
VM or vPar, the External Manager gWLM field displays the name of the gWLM policy. If the
VSP is not managed by gWLM or if a policy has not been assigned to the VM or vPar, the
gWLM field displays (none). Using Virtual Server Manager with Matrix OE, if the VM or
vPar is managed by gWLM, the gWLM policy name is a hyperlink to gWLM. Under HP SMH,
if VMs or vPars are being managed by gWLM, the gWLM policy name is text only (you cannot
modify gWLM policies from HP SMH). In either case (using Virtual Server Manager with Matrix
OE or HP SMH), if the VM or vPar is not being managed by gWLM, this field displays (none).
• Serviceguard Package: If the VM or vPar is being managed by HP Serviceguard, the VM or
vPar package name is listed here. If the VM or vPar is not being managed by HP Serviceguard,
this field displays (none).
VM or vPar Utilization Information
• VM or vPar Utilization Information: Displays resource utilization statistics for a VM or vPar.
The utilization information is a 5-minute average that is calculated and updated on 5-minute
boundaries. If the utilization cannot be displayed, the utilization meter (bar graph) is dimmed
and a label indicates the probable cause. For a description of meter labels, see the Error
messages and troubleshooting topic. When Integrity Virtual Server Manager runs on Matrix
Operating Environment, the utilization meters link to HP Capacity Advisor, which records and
displays utilization data. Click a meter to view the VM or vPar utilization history for virtual
CPUs, memory, disk I/O, or network I/O; this feature is not provided when using Virtual
Server Manager from HP SMH. For an example utilization history screen and more information
about collecting and viewing utilization data, see the Collecting and viewing utilization data
topic.
VM or vPar Authorization Information
• Authorized Administrators, Authorized Administrative Groups, Authorized Operators, Authorized
Operator Groups: These fields indicate which users and groups have administrator or operator
authority.
VM or vPar Properties Network tab
The Virtual Server Manager Properties Network tab works the same way as the VSP Network tab.
The difference between the two tabs all the devices (for the VSP and all VMs or vPars) in the Integrity
Virtual Server Manager environment.
