3.3.1 Viewing VMs

You can view VMs from the node detail view and from the View Services page. You can see all the VM summaries in a tile view, or you can select a single VM to view its details.

Viewing VM summaries in tile display

When you open a node detail view, tiles representing each VM display.

Tiles also graphically display the VM state using the following logic (for more information, see Understanding health/state information):

A VM in an OK health state does not display any icon.
A VM with a health state other than OK displays the health state.
If a VM is in a Requested Actions state but also has a health state of anything other than OK (i.e., Failure, Warning, or Unknown), the health icon will display instead of the Requested Actions icon. The same applies for a Reserved VM.
A VM in both a Reserved state and Requested Actions state displays the Requested Actions icon.

In addition to displaying the VM state, each tile contains summary information about the VM it represents, including the following:

Field	Description
Alias	An alternate name for the resource
IP	IP address
OS	Operating system
Power	Either On or Off
State	State of the VM (for example, Idle of Running)
Total memory	Total amount of memory
Total processors	Total number of processors

Viewing VM details

Click any VM tile to see its detail information. The details view contains all of the same content as the summary tile view along with the following additional information:

Field	Description
Available memory	Amount of available memory
Events	List of generic events associated with the VM
Has pending actions	Either Yes or No
Health	One of OK, Unknown, Warning, or Failure (for more information, see Understanding health/state information)
Hypervisor	Hypervisor type
Load	CPU load
VM name	Name of the VM
VLAN	Virtual LAN name
