You can customize HP SIM to make it more convenient
to start Virtualization Manager and view the systems that you most
frequently manage. From the SIM Systems and Event Collections list in the left-hand navigation area, select the Customize... link to create a new custom collections that will automatically
display any of the following views: | VSE – Makes the Virtualization
Manager the default view for the collection and opens with the Physical
and Virtual perspective. | | gWLM – Makes the Shared
Resource Domain (SRD) tab the default view for the collection. | | VSE (Logical Servers) –
Makes the Virtualization Manager the default view for the collection
and opens with the Logical Server perspective. | | VSE (Blades) – Makes
the Virtualization Manager the default view for the collection and
opens with the Blades perspective. | | VSE (Virtual Machines) –
Makes the Virtualization Manager the default view for the collection
and opens with Virtual Machines perspective. | | VSE (Serviceguard) –
Makes the Virtualization Manager the default view for the collection
and opens with the Serviceguard perspective. | | VSE (collection nodes only) – Makes the Virtualization Manager the default view and opens
with Physical and Virtual perspective, but only showing nodes that
are in that collection and that you explicitly have authorizations
to view. Other VSE views might pull in authorized parent or child
nodes not explicitly defined in a collection. |
Creating a Custom Collection | |
To create a custom collection, use the following
procedure: From the SIM Systems and Event Collections list in the left-hand navigation
area, select the Customize... link. Click New... to create a new custom collection. Use the radio button to
choose whether to individually specify the systems in the collection
or to select systems based on their attributes. Specify the systems or
the attributes of systems to be included in the collection and click Save As Collection. Specify the collection
name and its location in the Systems tree, then
click OK. | | | |  | NOTE: Non-administrators can only save collections under the Private collection, whereas administrators can save them
anywhere. Any collections intended for use with the default collection
preference must be saved directly under the All VSE Resources collection. | | | | |
Select the radio button
next to the newly created collection and click Set Properties. Change the Default
View to VSE, gWLM , VSE (Logical Servers), VSE (Blades), VSE (Virtual Machines), VSE (Serviceguard), or VSE (Collection Nodes Only), and then click OK.
