HP Insight Virtualization Manager 6.3 Software with Logical Server Management User Guide

Figure 5 Components of an Insight Dynamics compartment
1
The selection check box selects a compartment for which you can apply an action from the
gray Insight Dynamics menu bar (see “Insight Dynamics menus” (page 8)). If a compartment
contains subcompartments, as the Integrity VM Host compartment does in the previous example,
you must also select the check box for any subcompartment that you want to manage. Deselect
a selected compartment by checking its selection check box.
NOTE: When you check the selection check box for a given system, it preselects that system
for Systems Insight Manager menu bar actions. For example, when you select Options→Identify
Systems... from the Systems Insight Manager menu bar, the system you selected is displayed
in the list of systems SIM identifies.
2
Systems Insight Manager system status indicator icons. The meaning of the status icon appears
when you hover over the icon. Information on all possible status icons can be displayed by
selecting Legend... at the top of the System Status section of the left navigation area.

The compartment name identifies the type of node being displayed (for example, a standalone
system, an Integrity VM Host, or a Virtual Connect domain group). If there are subcompartments,
the default view lists them within the top level compartment. Figure 5 shows that a node named
citrine is a standalone server.
In the Logical Server perspective in the Visualization View, you can drag and drop a logical
server onto another server by clicking and holding the compartment name, then dragging and
dropping it into another compartment. A logical server is identified by the logical server icon
in the compartment. For more information on logical server features, see Chapter 4
(page 37).

The Expand Compartment button and Collapse Compartment button lets you expand or
collapse detailed information (technology icons, meters) in a compartment or subsompartment,
and display subcompartments if they exist. In a collapsed compartment, you can hover over
the Expand Compartment button for informational text:
• If there are subcompartments, the hover text indicates the number of subcompartments
that exist and that full details will be displayed.
• If there are no subcompartments, the hover text indicates that expanding the compartment
shows full details.
