If you lack authorization to use a tool, you might not be able to access certain menus.

The HP SIM maximize view link maximizes the screen to eliminate the left-hand side HP
SIM view. This link becomes “Restore” for returning to the original (two pane) view.
The help button is denoted by a question mark icon and is equivalent to Help→For
This Page from the HP SIM menu bar.

The name of the displayed system or HP SIM collection. In Figure 3-1, the All VSE
Resources collection is displayed. This is the default collection that can be changed in user
preferences. See “Modifying user preferences” (page 105) for information on setting the
display collection when you log into Virtualization Manager.
4
The Virtualization Manager tabs and Insight Dynamics menu bar. For information, see
“Virtualization Manager tabs” (page 11) and “Insight Dynamics menus” (page 12).
5
The Virtualization Manager tool bar lets you change the perspective you are viewing,
display workloads, quickly expand or collapse all compartments, search for specific
systems, refresh the view with the latest utilization data, and view system alerts. For more
information, see “Virtualization Manager toolbar” (page 17).
6
The compartment check box selects a system for performing actions from the HP SIM and
Virtualization Manager drop-down menus. For example, after selecting a compartment
for a system, you can select Tools View Capacity Advisor Data to go to the Capacity
Advisor Profile Viewer to view or modify historical profile data for that system.
NOTE: Collapsing a selected subcompartment's parent in the compartment hierarchy
and then expanding it deselects the subcompartment. To perform actions on that
subcompartment, you must again select the check box for the subcompartment.
Unlicensed systems do not appear in compartments.
The system name is displayed for the compartment. In the example, the name indicates
a Virtual Connect domain, with a subcompartment showing an enclosure. Each
compartment and subcompartment are color coded to indicate its type, such as an
enclosure. For information about what these colors represent, see “Compartment details”
(page 29).
