After you run the discovery process, HP SIM keeps information
about all of your server resources in its system list. From HP SIM
you can launch Virtualization Manager to display and manage your VSE
resources. You must be signed on to HP SIM as a user with appropriate
authorizations to use Virtualization Manager. For example, if you
do not have CMS authorization for the “Monitor Tools” toolbox, you will not be able to launch Virtualization Manager at
all. For details on configuring user authorizations, see the installation
and configuration guides (HP VSE Management Software Version 4.1 Installation and Update Guide for HP-UX and HP Insight Dynamics — VSE for ProLiant Installation and Configuration Guide)
or the product help.
Launch Virtualization Manager from HP SIM in any of the following
ways:
From the HP SIM menu bar, choose Tools
VSE Management..., as shown in Figure 4-1
From the HP SIM System and Event Collections list in the left navigation area, expand the All VSE Resources collection by clicking its ![[+]](./img/tree_open.gif)
icon,
then choose a subset such as nPartitions.
Create a custom HP SIM collection whose default view
is set to “VSE”, and choose that collection
in the left navigation area
Visualization View |
 |
Virtualization Manager starts with the Visualization tab selected. By default, this view shows the VSE resources on the
systems within the currently-selected collection that are properly
licensed and that you are authorized to view, along with real-time
utilization metrics (CPU, Memory, Network, Disk, and Power). Systems
are displayed in hierarchical compartments (for example, nPartitions
inside a complex, virtual machines inside a VM Host, server blades
inside a BladeSystem enclosure). The hierarchical display can be expanded
and collapsed using the and ![[-]](./img/tree_close.gif)
icons.
To include workloads within the displayed hierarchy, select the Show Workloads check box.
Additional icons in the compartments provide quick navigation
to management tools or provide more detailed information in a pop-up
window. Hover over any icon or control to see quick information about
its function. For detailed help, click the ![[?]](./img/help_button.png)
button.
