Fabric Diagram view

The Fabric Diagram view displays a graphical relationship between a host, its VMs, its networking,
and its fabric components, including downlink ports, I/O bays, uplink ports and if available,
connected external switches.

The black lines show the connection points between components. Two black lines connected
at the same vSwitch endpoint indicate NIC teaming.

The status indicators are:

means OK,

means there is a problem, and

means disabled.

Hover over the

The scale of the diagram can be changed using the Scale slider bar or by using Ctrl+mouse
wheel.

Hosts and downlink ports

In the host diagram box, each list box represents a vSwitch and contains all virtual machines
connected to that particular vSwitch.

The number in parentheses following the vSwitch name shows the number of virtual machines
connected to that vSwitch.

If a virtual machine is connected to an internal or private vSwitch, it will not be listed.

If a virtual machine is connected to multiple vSwitches, it appears in multiple vSwitch list boxes.

If a group of virtual machines are not connected to a vSwitch, the virtual machine list header
will be “Not Connected.”

If a virtual machine is connected to the same vSwitch multiple times, then the number in
parentheses following the VM name shows the total number of vSwitch connections.

If a host NIC is connected to vSwitch and is not assigned to a Network(s), then the downlink
port shows “Not Connected.”

If a single vNet is configured on the FlexNIC, then its name is displayed. If multiple vNets are
configured on the FlexNIC, then “ (set)” (for HP OneView) or “Multiple
Networks” (for VCM) is displayed.
