What it does
Default
Setting
User preference
On the Visualization tab, this setting detects the number of
visible compartments to display. If the number of compartments
exceeds the defined limit, Virtualization Manager collapses
the compartments in the layout. This action is equivalent to
clicking the Toolbar Collapse button
. The end result is that
some compartments (earlier in the sort order) are expanded
and later ones are collapsed.
NOTE:
Auto collapsing is turned off by default (that is, the
maximum number of compartments, 5000, is allowed). To
improve loading performance, set this value to a lower number.
Setting the value to 1 has the same effect as setting the
“Collapse top level compartments by default” preference to
Yes.

for highest performance.

Allows you to set a default collection to display by default on
the Visualization tab each time you access the Virtualization
Manager from the Systems Insight Manager Tools menu. Use
the drop-down menu to select a specific collection (for example,
nPartitions, Blades, Standalone servers, VM Hosts, Enclosures,
and so on) or all nodes by keeping the default “All VSE
Resources.”
NOTE:
To see this change take effect, from the Systems
Insight Manager menu bar, select Tools

When you are finished modifying the default user preferences, you have the following options:
•
Click OK to change and save your user preferences for this and subsequent sessions.
•
Click Cancel to return to your previous page, without saving or changing any preferences.
•
Click Restore Defaults to reset the preference values in the current tab to the default values,
and remain on the User Preferences page.
Reviewing real-time utilization data
This section describes the available utilization metrics that are visible in the Virtualization Manager
and actions you can take to access utilization data from the Virtualization Manager.
Utilization metrics visible in Virtualization Manager
The Virtualization Manager displays real-time utilization metrics from the managed systems.
Utilization metrics graphically display as meters in a Visualization View compartment or as a row
in the table in the Workload View. The meters show CPU utilization, memory utilization, network
I/O, and disk I/O (see
“Available utilization metrics” (page 125)
). Power meters are provided for
any physical server, including standalone servers, nPartitions, or server blades. Power meters
typically display a warning triangle until a power calibration has been performed for a system.
Once calibrated, the power meter value can be displayed. You can link to the power calibration
task is when it is present in the meter callout or from the Configure
→Calibrate Power (All Selected
Systems)... menu option. For information on the meter callout, see
. For information on Configure menu options, see
.
