Table 13 explains the meaning of each status icon.
Table 13 Status icons
Icon | Indication | Possible meanings in more detail |
| On/Up/Normal | The virtual machine is started or starting; devices are powered on and |
|
| active; the operating system is up or in the last part of the boot |
|
| sequence; no fault was detected. |
| Off/Down/Disabled | The virtual machine has stopped or is stopping; the devices are |
|
| powered off, or powered on but inactive; the operating system is down, |
|
| shutting down, or in the first part of the boot sequence. For a virtual |
|
| machine that has migrated to another VM Host (the target), this icon |
|
| indicates the virtual machine is no longer runnable on the source VM |
|
| Host, meaning that you cannot start or modify it. After the migration |
|
| has finished, you can delete the virtual machine from the source VM |
|
| Host. |
| Suspended | The virtual machine is in a suspended state. |
| Serviceguard package | The virtual machine is configured as a Serviceguard package; flyover |
|
| text indicates the virtual machine is a Serviceguard package. |
| Managed by another | The virtual machine is a Serviceguard package that is running on |
| VM Host | another VM Host; flyover text indicates hardware status (On) and the |
|
| name of the VM Host. |
| Unknown | The VM Manager cannot read information about virtual machines or |
|
| devices, or cannot obtain this information from the remote WBEM |
|
| services provider. This does not necessarily indicate an error condition. |
|
| For example, some information (such as memory configuration) cannot |
|
| be obtained if the virtual machine is powered off or has not completed |
|
| a restart. |
| Critical | A critical problem with the virtual machine or device configuration has |
|
| been detected. |
| Major | The virtual machine is experiencing major performance problems. |
| Migrating to another | The virtual machine is currently migrating from this VM Host (source) |
| VM Host | to another VM Host (target). |
| Migrating from | The virtual machine is currently migrating from another VM Host (source) |
| another VM Host | to this VM Host (target). |
| Waiting for migration | The virtual machine is in queue, waiting to migrate. When multiple |
|
| virtual machines are selected to migrate, only one is migrated at a |
|
| time. |
| Migration error An | An error was detected during the latest attempt to migrate one or more |
| error was detected | virtual machines to another host. |
| during the latest |
|
| attempt to migrate one |
|
| or more virtual |
|
| machines to another |
|
| host. |

Utilization meter status/error information
When a utilization meter visible on one of the VM Manager tabs is dimmed (rather than displaying a utilization value), a label indicates the probable cause. The following list describes the labels or status indicators:
