System tab for virtual machine guests
After clicking a virtual machine guest in the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) console, click the System
tab to display the following configuration information for the guest.
The Quick Launch link provides instant access to a short list of frequently used tools. Place your cursor over
the link to expand the menu and view the tools available for the systems that are currently displayed. Selecting
a tool from this list bypasses the target verification page of the Task Wizard, regardless of the Task Wizard
settings. Tools launched with this menu cannot be scheduled. The menu can be customized by clicking the
Customize link in the Quick Launch menu.
The System tab includes the following information:
• System status The health and virtual machine status is depicted using color-coded icons and includes
the following information:
• Health Status The overall status for a system. It is obtained from Web-Based Enterprise
Management (WBEM) SNMP , Desktop Management Interface (DMI), and the HTTP protocols,
with the most critical status being displayed. A ping (ICMP or TCP reachable check) is always
made. To access the System Management Homepage (SMH), click the Health Status link. If the
SMH is not present, the link accesses the Property Page Status page. If no option is available,
the Health Status link is not present.
