Virtual Machine Status

Virtual Machine Status

Typically, the status is “Provisioned.” However, it may change to “Available” in certain situations, such as when the machine is restarted on another host due to a host failure.

It seems there are several status options available. Could you explain what each status indicates?
Also, please clarify whether the status differences affect what actions are possible or restricted.

*Apologies for any confusion caused by machine translation.

Re: Virtual Machine Status

How about it?

Since it concerns HVM, I thought HPE might know, but is there no information?

Re: Virtual Machine Status

I asked people on our internal VM Essentials Slack to help with an answer. Hopefully there's someone that can answer.
