HP Virtualization Manager and HP Capacity Advisor: an introduction

are available by default. While these default lists make the first use of the application easy, cus-
tomization of the system lists allows administrators to group systems more logically based on busi-
ness function. For example, a system list can be created that contains each of the systems in a
three-tiered application. This type of grouping allows an administrator to manage the set of sys-
tems responsible for a specific application as a cohesive group without the clutter of unrelated
systems.
Figure 17-6 shows the Customize Lists interface in HP SIM that is used to create new system
folders. Using this screen, specific systems may be included in a custom list. Alternatively, a query
can be defined such that systems that match a given criteria are contained in a folder. For example,
the screen shown in Figure 17-6 illustrates the creation of a list that selects all systems running
the HP-UX B.11.23 operating system.
