Measures reported by OVMGuestStatusTest

Live migration is a process to move a running virtual machine from one Oracle VM Server to another, while applications on the existing virtual machine continue to run. Because of live migration, administrators often struggle to determine which VM was migrated between which two Oracle VM servers. This is where the OVMGuestStatusTest test helps.

This test enables administrators to determine how many guests have registered with the Oracle VM server, and how many of these are currently running. In addition, the test also indicates whether any guests have migrated to or from the virtual server.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Registered_guests Indicates the number of VMs that are registered with the Oracle VM server. Number  
Guests_powered_on Indicates the number of VMs that are currently powered on. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which VMs are powered on.
Added_guests Indicates the number of VMs that were migrated to the Oracle VM server during the last measurement period. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which VMs were newly migrated to the Oracle VM server being monitored.
Removed_guests Indicates the number of VMs that were migrated from the Oracle VM server during the last measurement period. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which VMs were newly migrated from the Oracle VM server being monitored.
