VM Manager “Create Virtual Machine” Summary Help Page Displays Misleading Information |
 |
The Summary screen is displayed
by the Create Virtual Machine wizard after you have specified all
the parameters and devices for the virtual machine being created.
The Summary help page incorrectly describes how
the commands and error checking are executed when creating a virtual
machine with the wizard. As documented correctly in the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager Version 3.5 Getting Started
Guide, when you click Finish, the
two hpvmcreate commands shown in the Command Preview area are executed. The first command checks
for resource availability and other issues, without creating the virtual
machine. If errors or resource availability warnings are returned,
they are reported at the top of the page. If no such problems are
detected, the second command creates the virtual machine. If you want
to create the virtual machine without checking for resource availability
issues, or without concern for certain expected resource warnings,
select the Create VM even if resources are insufficient,
missing or unavailable check box at the bottom left of
the page. For example, if this check box is selected, you can create
a virtual machine that uses a physical disk that some other running
virtual machine is already using. As another example, you can create
a virtual machine for which you incorrectly specified a storage device
file. You can correct these kinds of problems after the virtual machine
is created and before it is started.
