configuration parameters. However, when changes to the virtual machine I/O configuration
are made using tools other than VM Manager (such as adding or removing I/O devices by
using the VM Host command line), the updated configuration data is not shown until the screen
is refreshed.

The 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 below this one) and a label indicates the
probable cause. For a description of meter labels, see “Utilization meter status/error
information” (page 117).
Using VM 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 VM Manager from HP SMH.
For more information about using VM Manager to collect and view utilization data, see
Chapter 7 (page 105).
6
Displays the type of storage device interface and device, such as emulated SCSI DVD (labeled
SCSI DVD) or Accelerated Virtual Input/Output disk (labeled AVIO Disk).
7
Allows you to perform an action on the I/O device. Select the box, then select an action from
the appropriate menu available on the VM Manager menu bar.
8
Clicking the Focus link limits the display to only those storage devices associated with the
selected object (in this instance, the devices associated with the indicated AVIO disk) 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 VM Manager menu bar on the focused page.
The Show physical host 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.
9
Indicates by color coding that matching components are related.

Virtual Switch (Vswitch) Properties view
You can access the Vswitch Properties view from any VM Manager views that include a link to a
virtual switch, such as the VM Host Virtual Switches tab, the VM Host Network tab, or the VM
Properties Network tab. You can also access the Vswitch Properties view by selecting View→
Virtual Switch Properties... (a virtual switch must be selected in the current view).
Figure 40 shows a typical Vswitch Properties view. Tabs available from the view are described in
the text that follows. Subsequent sections describe each tab in more detail.
