This section provides some tips that will help you better use the Virtualization Manager:

Navigation tips

When navigating between Virtualization Manager screens, do not use the browser Back button to return to the previous page. Doing so removes the collections previously displayed and requires that you restart the Virtualization Manager. Instead, use the navigation aids provided from the VSE page you are viewing (for example, clicking the Go Back link or a VSE Management tab).

User Preferences tips

Use the Modify User Preferences screen to customize your view in the Virtualization Manager:

  • To view more systems in the Visualization View, use the SIM maximize link or manually expand the size of your browser. This increases the number of compartments Virtualization Manager can display across the screen.

  • Setting the Default collection in the user preferences restricts the view of systems to that collection, and systems associated with them, when accessing Virtualization Manager from the HP SIM menubar (Tools->VSE Management...). By setting the user preference to the collection you usually manage, you can prevent your view from being unnecessarily cluttered with systems you do not manage when you enter through Tools->VSE Management.... For more information on setting user preferences, see “Modifying User Preferences”.

Performance tips

Refine your collections to limit the scope of data retrieved and rendered in the browser. For example, if you select ToolsVSE Management from the HP SIM menu bar (or All VSE Resources from the System and Even Collections from the left-hand navigation), too many systems displayed from this broad scope can slow performance. By simply choosing a subset collection of typical nodes (for example, Standalone Servers), or creating a smaller customized collection (see “Creating a Custom Collection”), the scope is narrowed and data retrieval and display time is enhanced.

Troubleshooting

If you have trouble with meters collecting data, use vseassist(1M)to help troubleshoot the cause.
