Insight Dynamics menus
The Insight Dynamics menu bar provides convenient access to the Insight Dynamics tools and
actions.
To perform an action on a system or compartment, select its check box, then choose the menu
selection from the menu bar. Some menu selections (such as Create→Workload Definition...)
do not require you to select a system first.
NOTE: Menu selections vary between the Virtualization Manager tabs (Visualization tab and
Workload tab) and the tabs that take you outside the Virtualization Manager (that is, the Shared
Resource Domain tab and Capacity Advisor tab). The page title indicates the management
application for the selected tab, for example, Virtualization Manager or Capacity Advisor.
Menu selections are disabled if any of the following circumstances exist:
• A required selection has not been made. For example, Modify→Workload Definition... is
enabled only after you select a workload.
• Ambiguous selections have been made. For example, if you select more than one workload,
Modify→Workload Definition... is not enabled.
Be sure to select the check box to select the appropriate system or systems before choosing a
menu selection from the menu bar.
The following menu options are available for the Virtualization Manager tabs under the Insight
Dynamics menu bar (see Figure 1-1 “Insight Dynamics menu bar”):

Table 1–1 through Table 1–6 describe the drop-down menu options for each menu bar selection.
