4 Managing your HP ProLiant systems

HP Insight Control for RHEV lets you monitor events that occur on devices. From the HP Insight
Control for RHEV Actions toolbar, you can view the host’s current status, control devices, link
directly to HP management tools, access online Help, generate reports of HP hardware inventory
details through RHEV-M's reporting infrastructure, and access a link to the HP Support Web site.

The icons located on the HP Insight Control for RHEV Actions toolbar
let you manage your HP ProLiant systems. The following table lists the statuses may be displayed
for the monitored host and devices:
