dialog box:
5.3 Virtual Machine Actions
All of the actions that you can perform on a VM can be tracked during execution by viewing the
logging messages in the
Event Log tab for the VM, and in the Event Log and Event Details dialog
boxes (see Section 5.2, “Using Feedback to Manage VMs,” on page 70 ). These logs provide a
history of all VM actions.
You can also see which VM operator initiated an action. The VM operator’s login name is displayed
in the
User column of the Event Log details tab for the VM. For information on setting up different
VM operator login names, see Appendix D, “Adding User Logins for VM Operators,” on page 159 .
Even if you log in and log out of the VM Client, all logs are maintained and continue to progress so
that you can still monitor an action after logging back in to the VM Client.
You can do the following for hands-on management of VMs:
