Goes back to the previous view, in this case the VM Host view. If you accessed the VM
Properties view from Virtualization Manager, the link returns you to Virtualization
Manager. In HP SMH, when you first access this page from HP SMH, the link is not
provided. The link appears whenever you move from one VM Manager view to another
(such as from VM Host view to VM Properties view, in which case the Go back to Integrity
Virtual Machines Manager: Manage Host link appears on the VM Properties view).

With the Show physical host bus adapters check box selected (as in this example), the
view includes the complete storage bus structure, host bus adapters, and multipath storage
configurations. This view may take longer to render and can be more challenging for
discerning the associations between virtual machines and devices, especially when many
multipath storage devices exist on the VM Host. By default (the check box being
unselected), the view is simpler, showing only the specific storage devices that are being
used as backing devices. For a multipath device, the simple view shows only the device
special file (DSF) path, as specified when the virtual storage device was created. In contrast,
the complex view displays all DSF versions of the same device, including (on an HP-UX
11i v3 VM Host) the persistent DSF.
When you navigate to another VM Manager view and return to this view again, the host
bus adapters check box retains its state. In other words, if the box is checked when you
navigate away from the VM Properties Storage tab, it remains checked when you navigate
back (you continue to see the complex view on return). If the box is unchecked, it remains
