you navigate back (you continue to see the complex view on return). If the box is unchecked,
it remains unchecked when you return (you continue to see the simple view). The check box
state on the VSP Storage tab does not affect the state of the same check box on the VM or
vPar Properties Storage tab. For example, selecting the check box on the VSP Storage tab
does not automatically affect the check box and view of the VM or vPar Properties Storage
tab.
3
Allows you to perform an action on the VM or vPar or I/O device. Select the box, then select
an action from one of the menus available on the Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu bar.
4
Clicking the Focus link limits the display to only those storage devices associated with the
selected object (in this instance, the devices associated with VMs, vm1pqs01 and vm2pqs02)
and the objects directly connected to it. All other devices are not displayed. To return to the
original view, click the Show All link visible beneath the Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu
bar on the focused view.
The Show physical VSP bus adapters check box is disabled (dimmed) in the focussed view;
you cannot change the Show physical host bus adapters state until you return to the original
(unfocussed) view. The simplicity or complexity of the focussed view with respect to host bus
adapters and so forth is determined by the check box selection at the time that you selected
the focus link.
5
Displays detailed information about the VM or vPar by taking you to the VM or vPar Properties
General tab.
6
The utilization meter (bar graph) displays storage I/O throughput data, if available. The data
is a 5-minute average that is calculated and updated on 5-minute boundaries. If the data
cannot be displayed, the meter is dimmed (as in the meter underneath this one) and a label
indicates the probable cause. For a description of meter labels, see “Utilization meter
status/error information” (page 137). To view utilization history, click the appropriate meter.
These meters link to HP Capacity Advisor, which provides the utilization statistics. For more
information about using Integrity Virtual Server Manager to collect and view utilization data,
see Chapter 7 (page 119).
Using Integrity Virtual Server Manager with Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX, you
can click a meter to view a snapshot of Capacity Advisor historical data for storage I/O; this
feature is not provided when using Integrity Virtual Server Manager from HP SMH.

The orange horizontal line indicates by color coding that matching components are related.
This particular line links the virtual storage component to its corresponding physical storage
component. The orange vertical line to the right of the screen also indicates by color coding
that matching components are related. This line links two representations of the storage device,
one with the agile address and the other with the legacy address. The line indicates that they
are two different representations of the same physical device. Multiple representations are
displayed only if the Show physical host bus adapters check box is selected.
Storage devices
Various types of devices are supported on VMs or vPars. Integrity Virtual Server Manager represents
each type of device with an icon. You can hover your cursor over the icon to see text describing
the representation. Table 4 describes these icons.
