Servers with Virtual Connect target hosts
Target servers with Virtual Connect on which a logical server can be moved are shown in the
Target Hosts table. Select one target blade in the Target Hosts table by clicking the radio button
to the left of the target. Hover your mouse over the error symbols for more information.
• Target hosts with the best fit are sorted to the top of the Target Hosts table.
• Target hosts with an acceptable fit are shown with error symbols in the table columns. You
can override the filter criteria and select a target host with error symbols in the Target Hosts

A yellow triangle in the Headroom column denotes an error returning Capacity Advisor data.
• You cannot select a target host from the Rejected Target Hosts table. The red circle symbol in
the Failed column contains the reason for rejection. Other errors are denoted by error symbols.
