The tool bar expand and collapse buttons allow you to manage the extent of detail you want
shown in the compartments and sub-compartments. For information about how these buttons
work, see the online help for tool bar buttons.

The Search field allows you to locate a given system by searching for a compartment name.
When you enter the name in the search field, Matrix OE visualization first highlights all
complete or partial matches of the name. When you click the Search button or press Enter,

The Refresh button allows you to update the display to include the latest compartments,
their relationships, and utilization information. Normally, refreshing the display is not necessary
because the view is updated automatically as new data becomes available. However, you
might use the Refresh button to reattempt gathering utilization data for all items to ensure the
view is showing the latest information. Refreshing the view updates all containers and
relationships, resource utilization data, authentication credentials (WBEM) from HP Systems
Insight Manager, and workload information from Global Workload Manager. While the view
refreshes, the Refresh button spins to indicate it is in progress.
6
Status errors or warnings when receiving data are indicated by an alert button. For example,
a warning will appear if a system lacks a valid license or if a license has expired. Multiple
alerts are indicated by the number displayed. Click the alert button to view detailed information
about the error(s) or warning(s). An alert popup displays. Click the [X] button in the upper
right-hand corner of the popup to close it.
For more information, see the online help for alerts.
