I/O activity to complete before stopping a VM or vPar. The timeout value is set at the VSP
command line by using the hpvmmodify command.

Online Migration Enabled: Indicates whether the VM is enabled for online migration or whether
the VSP is not licensed to support online migration. The VSP administrator can enable a VM
by using the hpvmmodify command at the VSP. vPar does not support migration. The following
table shows in the third column what the status field displays, based on the state of the VSP
and VM listed in the first and second column, respectively:

Not Runnable Set By: Displayed when the VM has migrated to another VSP, indicates the
activity or agent that caused the VM hardware status to be Not Runnable. For example,
Migrate indicates the Not Runnable state was initiated by migration (hpvmmigrate); Admin
indicates the VM was marked Not Runnable by the hpvmmodify command.

Not Runnable Reason: Displayed when the VM has migrated to another VSP, indicates the
reason the VM hardware status is Not Runnable. For example, the guest has migrated to
another VSP.
