HP Integrity Virtual Server Manager 6.3 User Guide

4 Using Integrity Virtual Server Manager views and tabs
Integrity Virtual Server Manager provides three basic views, each with several tabs, as described
in the following sections.
You can print any of the VSP or vPar or VM tabs by clicking View Printer-friendly beneath the
Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu bar, on the left side of the page. This redisplays the tab in
a format suitable for printing. To print the tab, click Print. To switch back, click View Normal.
You can update the data on certain pages by clicking Refresh Data beneath the Integrity Virtual
Server Manager menu bar, on the right side of the page. In general, Integrity Virtual Server Manager
tabbed views are refreshed automatically every five minutes. An indicator on these visualization
pages notifies you when the data was last refreshed. Integrity Virtual Server Manager screens that
display configuration data are updated instantaneously when you use Integrity Virtual Server
Manager to change the related configuration parameters. However, when changes to the VM or
vPar I/O configuration are made using tools other than Integrity Virtual Server Manager (such as
adding or removing I/O devices by using the VSP command line), the updated configuration data
is not shown until the screen is refreshed. Some dialog screens, such as the Create Virtual Machine
or Create Virtual Partition wizard Add Storage Device and the Modify→Add Storage Device to VM
or vPar... screens, include a Refresh Data link that you can use to manually refresh data.
NOTE: The figures in this chapter and in the remainder of the manual display views seen from
HP Matrix Operating Environment. Views in HP SMH might differ slightly. Differences are noted.
In addition, the examples display maximized window views to give more focus to the Integrity
Virtual Server Manager window (eliminating the Matrix Operating Environment system status pane
available on the left of the page and the Systems Insight Manager/HP Matrix Operating Environment
header and menu bar on the top of the page). Select the maximized view by clicking Maximize
in the top right corner of the page. To return to the original view, click Restore Size in the top right
corner of the maximized page. The maximize feature is not provided by HP SMH but is not needed;
HP SMH provides a full-window Integrity Virtual Server Manager view.
VSP view
You can access the Integrity Virtual Server Manager VSP view directly from SMH or from other
Integrity Virtual Server Manager views that include a link to the VSP, such as the VM or vPar
Properties General tab. Figure 10 shows a typical VSP view in Integrity Virtual Server Manager.
Tabs available from the VSP view are described in the text that follows. Subsequent sections describe
each tab in more detail.
