HP OneView User Interface Overview
The entirely new HP OneView user experience is significantly improved from previous generations of HP Management
software (e.g. HP System Insight Control.) The HP OneView user interface is built using modern web programming
languages, HTML5 and CSS3. Below is an example of what the User Interface looks like (UI.)

HP OneView Virtual Connect Management Architecture Overview
HP OneView’s Virtual Connect management architecture is different from that of Virtual Connect Manager (VCM) or even
Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM.) While VCM provided a consolidated management view, it is limited to a
maximum of 4 Enclosures within a Multi-Stack Enclosure (MES) Domain configuration. This limits management scalability.
VCEM represents a Manager-of-Managers architecture, where VCM is put into a locked state, and VCEM controls the
configuration. When an enclosure containing Virtual Connect modules is claimed and managed by OneView, Virtual Connect
Manager is no longer in use. It cannot be used for any level of management, as HP OneView is the manager.
