Creating or Editing Stopped Virtual Machine
Groups
Use the following procedures to create or edit a stopped virtual
machine group.
To create a stopped virtual machine
group
In the Actions pane, under Update Stopped Virtual
Machines on Hosts, click New Group.
Note If you
cannot view the Actions pane, on the main toolbar, click
Actions to display it.
On the Create a Stopped Virtual Machine Group page of
the New Stopped Virtual Machine Group Wizard, type a name and a
description for the group. You can use the description to help
identify the group, for example if the group name is standardized
and you need additional "friendly" information to easily identify
the group.
Also on this page, if you select the In the available list,
include virtual machines in saved state or with checkpoints
option, saved state virtual machines appear that you can then add
to the Selected virtual machines list.
If your Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) system has more than one
host, expand the Virtual machine host drop-down list, and
then click the name of the virtual machine host that holds the
virtual machines with which you want to work.
In the Available stopped virtual machines list, select
the stopped virtual machines to place in this group, click the
arrow button to move them into the Selected virtual machines
list (click the double-arrow button to move all of the virtual
machines into the list).
Click Finish to complete the wizard.
To edit an
existing stopped virtual machine group
In the Groups pane of the tool console, expand the
Virtual Machine Servicing Tool Groups tree node, and then
click the Virtual Machines on Host Groups node to display
the current list of stopped virtual machine groups in the results
pane of the tool console.
In the list of offline virtual machine groups, select the group
you want to edit, and then in the Actions pane, under
Update Stopped Virtual Machines on Hosts, click Edit
Group.
On the EditGroup page, you can change the
description of the stopped virtual machine group, and you can add
or remove stopped virtual machines. Remember that all of the
stopped virtual machines in the group must be on the same
host.
