Managing Virtual Machines

Manage a virtual machine (VM) to control its operation, provision its resources, or configure its guest operating systems and applications.

You can view and manage VMs on the Virtual Machines page of the everRun Availability Console, which you access as described in The Virtual Machines Page. To perform specific management tasks, see the following topics.

To manage the operational state of a VM, see:

• Starting a Virtual Machine
• Shutting Down a Virtual Machine
• Powering Off a Virtual Machine
• Opening a Virtual Machine Console Session
• Renaming a Virtual Machine
• Removing a Virtual Machine

To display information about a VM, use the snmptable command (see Obtaining System Information with snmptable).

To create or configure a VM, see:

• Planning Virtual Machine Resources (virtual CPUs, memory, storage, and networks)
• Creating and Migrating Virtual Machines
• Managing Snapshots
• Managing Virtual CDs
• Configuring Windows-based Virtual Machines
• Configuring Linux-based Virtual Machines
• Managing Virtual Machine Resources

To complete advanced tasks, see:

• Assigning a Specific MAC Address to a Virtual Machine
• Selecting a Preferred PM for a Virtual Machine
• Changing the Protection Level for a Virtual Machine (HA or FT)
• Configuring the Boot Sequence for Virtual Machines
• Resetting MTBF for a Failed Virtual Machine
