unchecked when you return (you continue to see the simple view). The check box state
on the VM Properties Storage tab does not affect the state of the same check box on the
VM Host Storage

tab. For example, selecting the check box on the VM Properties Storage

tab does not automatically affect the check box and view of the VM Host Storage tab.

3

Displays this window in a format suitable for printing.

4

Updates the data displayed on this page. In general, VM Manager tabbed view screens
are refreshed automatically at regular intervals, and VM Manager screens that display
configuration data are updated instantaneously when you use VM Manager to change
the related 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.

5

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 127)

.

Using VM Manager with Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity, 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 111)

.

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.

10

This color-coded line links the multiple representations of the storage device, one with its
agile address (/dev/rdisk/disk24) and two with legacy addresses
(/dev/rdisk/c18t0d3 and /dev/rdisk/c17t0d3). The line indicates that they are
different representations of the same physical device. Multiple representations are
displayed only if the Show physical host bus adapters check box is selected.
