HP Integrity Virtual Server Manager 6.3 User Guide

NOTE: The Integrity Virtual Server Manager navigation aids available in a particular view vary
according to the view. The view in Figure 9 shows most of the navigation aids that Integrity Virtual
Server Manager provides. Missing from this view are navigation buttons such as Previous and
Next, visible in some of the Create Virtual Machines or Virtual Partitions wizard pages (discussed
in “Creating VMs” (page 83) or “Creating vPars” (page 113)). Certain Integrity Virtual Server
Manager pages (such as the Start Virtual Machine or Start Virtual Partition page) include OK and
Cancel buttons, which complete or cancel an action, returning you to the Integrity Virtual Server
Manager view from which you initiated the action.
Figure 9 Integrity Virtual Server Manager navigation features
1
Click a tab to change to another view. All Integrity Virtual Server Manager tabs are described
in Chapter 4 (page 27).
2
Click a menu in the menu bar beneath the tab title. This displays additional information about
the actions you can perform. The Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu bar is described in
Chapter 5 (page 75).
3
Click the top of a column of a table (on or near the title of the column) to change which column
is driving the sort order of the table. Click the arrow in the selected column to toggle between
ascending and descending order. Not all columns can drive the sort order. Hover your cursor
over a column heading to determine whether the column is selectable for sorting; the cursor
(pointer) changes according to the current pointer scheme configured for your operating system
(for example, when you hover over a selectable column, your cursor might change from an
arrow to a hand).
In tables that are sortable, one column has a darker grey background in the column heading
and an ascending or descending arrow in the same area. The dark grey color indicates that
the column is driving the sort order for all rows of data in the table. The arrow indicates whether
the column has been sorted in ascending or descending order. Criteria for the order may be
numeric or alphabetical. In Figure 9, the column that drives the sorting order is the VM or vPar
Name column, and the column is sorted in ascending order.
4
Click a check box next to an object that you want to act on, then select the action from one
of the Integrity Virtual Server Manager menus. To perform an action on all the objects listed,
select the box at the top of the check box column (in the header row at the top of the table).
5
Click a link to an object (the object's name forms the link) to move to a view of that object.
For example, click the VM name link shown in Figure 9 to access the VM Properties page for
that VM.
6
These icons indicate the status of the VM or vPar hardware (HW) and its guest operating
system (OS). The icons in the HW column indicate whether the VM or vPar is started (up) or
stopped (down). For example, the ) icon indicates a VM or vPar is up; the icon indicates
it is down. The same icons in the OS column indicate whether the operating system is running.
