The Virtual Machines perspective lists the different virtual machines that belong to either a server pool, a server or the Unassigned Virtual Machines folder, depending on the item selected in the navigation pane. The following columns are displayed in the management pane:
Name: The name that has been configured for the virtual machine.
Status: The running status of the virtual machine.
Tag(s): Any tags that have been applied to the virtual machine.
Event Severity: What event severity level is currently indicated for the virtual machine.
Server: The actual Oracle VM Server that the virtual machine is currently residing on.
Max. Memory (MB): The maximum available memory (in megabytes) that the virtual machine is able to consume.
Memory (MB): The amount of memory (in megabytes) that the virtual machine is currently consuming.
Max. Processors: The number of processors that the virtual machine is allowed to make use of.
Processors: The number of processors that the virtual machine is currently using.
Keymap: The character keymap that has been configured for the virtual machine.
Operating System: The operating system that the virtual machine is running.
Clicking on the arrow to the left of a virtual machine in the table displays a set of subtabs that show more detailed information about the virtual machine. These tabs are Configuration, Networks, and Disks. Click on a tab to display the information.
If this perspective is viewed from the Unassigned Virtual Machines folder, some of the toolbar icons that are usually available for this perspective are not included in the toolbar. The table below lists all of the toolbar icons that are available for this perspective and indicates the items that are not available when the perspective is viewed from the Unassigned Virtual Machines folder.
Table 3.23 Virtual Machines Perspective Toolbar Icon Options
Toolbar Icon Option | Icon | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() | Displays the Import Virtual Machine dialog box. Use this option to import a virtual machine into Oracle VM Manager. This option is only available for Unassigned Virtual Machines. | |
![]() | Displays the Edit Virtual Machine wizard. Use this option to edit a virtual machine. | |
Delete | ![]() | Displays the Delete Confirmation dialog box. Use this option to delete the selected virtual machines. |
![]() | Starts up a stopped virtual machine. Not available for Unassigned Virtual Machines. | |
![]()
| Shuts down a virtual machine. Not available for Unassigned Virtual Machines. | |
![]() | Launches the virtual machine VNC console in an x86-based server pool, which enables access to the virtual machine. Use this option to connect to a virtual machine's console and access the virtual machine directly. Not available for virtual machines in the Unassigned Virtual Machines folder, or virtual machines in a server pool, but not assigned to an Oracle VM Server. | |
![]() | Launches the virtual machine serial console, which enables access to the virtual machine. Use this option to connect to a virtual machine's serial console and access the virtual machine directly. This service is commonly used for virtual machines running in a SPARC-based server pool, but is also available for virtual machines running on x86-based server pools. Not available for Unassigned Virtual Machines. | |
![]() | Restarts a running virtual machine. Not available for Unassigned Virtual Machines. | |
![]() | Shuts down a running virtual machine. Not available for Unassigned Virtual Machines. | |
![]() | Suspends (pauses) a running virtual machine. Not available for Unassigned Virtual Machines. | |
![]() | Resumes (unpauses) a suspended virtual machine. Not available for Unassigned Virtual Machines. | |
![]() | Migrates a virtual machine to another Oracle VM Server. | |
![]() | Displays the Clone or Move Virtual Machine dialog box. Use this option to clone a virtual machine to create another virtual machine. | |
![]() | Displays the Manage Clone Customizer dialog box. The clone customizer lets you set up clone parameters, such as networking, disks and ISO resources. Use this option to create, edit or delete a clone customizer. | |
![]()
| Displays the VM Config File Content dialog box. Displays a read-only view of the configuration file for the selected virtual machine. Use this option to view the content of the virtual machine configuration file. | |
![]()
| Send one or more virtual machines a message. Use this option to send messages to virtual machines that have the Oracle VM Guest Additions installed. Not available for Unassigned Virtual Machines. | |
![]() | Displays the Events dialog box. Displays events for the selected virtual machine. Use this option to view or acknowledge error events for the virtual machine. |
