Enabling and Disabling VM Components

You can enable or disable certain virtual machine (VM) components on individual nodes using the everRun Availability Console. You can enable or disable volumes and networks on node1 and/or node0. You can also enable or disable instances of a VM on node1 or on node0.

Notes:
  1. You cannot enable (or disable) the same component on both nodes at the same time.
  2. You cannot disable both instances of a VM.
  3. You must follow an order of last-in, first-out (LIFO) when enabling VM volumes on both nodes. For example, if you disable a volume on node0 and then disable the volume on node1, and you then want to enable the volume on node0, you must first enable the volume on node1 before you can enable the volume on node0.

To enable or disable a virtual machine component

  1. Open the Virtual Machines page (see The Virtual Machines Page).
  2. Select a VM and then click the Support tab in the bottom panel.
  3. Beneath the Support tab, locate the component that you want to enable or disable: Volume, Network, or VM instance.
  4. In the row for the specific volume, network, or VM instance that you want to enable or disable, select Enable node0 or Enable node1, or select Disable node0 or Disable node1.
  5. A Confirm dialog box appears, asking you to confirm the change. Click Yes to enable or disable the component.
