Configuring the polling frequency for virtual machine status checks
Insight Control virtual machine management provides a configurable parameter,
VMConfigRefreshRate
. This parameter controls the frequency with which VMM checks for
changes in virtual machine configuration, such as number of NICs on the virtual machine, size of
the hard disk, and so on. Configuration changes on the virtual machines are updated by VMM.
The default polling frequency is 5 seconds.
Add the following configurable parameter in the hpvmm.conf file found in the CMS location
<Insight Control virtual machine management installation directory on
CMS>/bin:
VMConfigRefreshRate=<<value in milliseconds>>
For example, VMConfigRefreshRate = 5000
The value of the parameter can be between 5 seconds and 5 minutes. Any values entered outside
this range are automatically adjusted to the max/min value of the range.
Increasing the polling frequency reduces the ability of VMM to identify the changes in virtual
machine status.
