Click OK to start the VM.
When a VM is started, it is in the On state (powered on). You can then perform the functions you
want.
NOTE:
Depending on the settings in the VM's Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), starting a VM
might not boot the operating system. For more information, see
.
Once a VM is started, the resources assigned to the VM are allocated for its use. The VSP ensures
that the resources required by the VM are available in the current VSP system environment. If the
VM cannot be started, Integrity Virtual Server Manager displays messages indicating which
resources cannot currently be provided.
For information about possible reasons that a VM might not start, see
.
Stopping VMs
To stop one or more VMs, perform the following steps. This action allows you to stop the virtual
hardware for a VM. When stopped, a VM enters an Off state (powered off) and the VM is halted.
Once a VM is stopped, the resources assigned to it no longer are allocated and are now available
for use by other VMs.
