How to Manage Virtual Machines Running on IGEL OS 12 from the IGEL UMS Web App

The IGEL Managed Hypervisor (IMH) provides centralized management capabilities and with the IGEL Ready partner integrations it ensures high availability and operational continuity for critical environments. Using the IMH app, it is possible to run virtual machines on IGEL OS 12 devices and provide a secure and manageable solution to run old workloads in a modern infrastructure.

The virtual machines running on the IGEL OS 12 devices can be centrally managed through the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) Web App.

Use Cases

You can find more information on the use cases of the IGEL Managed Hypervisor and request a demo on the IGEL webpage Secure, Managed IT and OT Systems | IGEL Technology .

Requirements

Licensing

You need a UMS License that includes the management feature.
You need the IGEL MANAGED HYPERVISOR add-on license to use the IMH app.

For details, see IGEL MANAGED HYPERVISOR Add-On License.

If your UMS license expires, you will no longer be able to perform actions, but you will still see a list of VMs.

Permissions

As an administrator, you need to have the Managed Hypervisor global permission enabled.

For details on permissions, see How to Create Administrator Accounts in the IGEL UMS.

Software

You need IGEL UMS 12.09.100 or higher and IGEL OS 12.7.0 or higher
You need the IGEL Managed Hypervisor app installed on the IGEL OS 12 device. Otherwise, the tab in the UMS Web App is not visible.

Managing Virtual Machines in the UMS Web App

You can find a demo video on managing virtual machines through the UMS Web App below.

To manage the virtual machines deployed on the IGEL OS 12 devices:

In the UMS Web App go to the Devices area.

Select the device and go to the Hypervisor tab.

Select a virtual machine from the list of the deployed virtual machines to display machine information. You will find status information displayed, for example:
- State of the machine (for example, Running)
- Number of CPUs
- RAM
- Description

If you click refresh at the top of the list, you update the list to reflect the current state of the virtual machines. The refresh process reloads the VM list and any changes made to the VM configurations.

Use the action buttons on the right to manage the selected VM. You can:
- Start the virtual machine:
- Stop the virtual machine:

You can perform the actions as bulk actions for all the machines at once.

You need to confirm all actions in a confirmation dialog before the action is performed.
