Optional: Define the physical topology and power systems of your environment in the appliance

HP OneView enables you to define the physical attributes of your data centers and power systems.

The Data Centers screen provides a 3D model of your environment, which you can use for planning and organization. It also displays power and temperature data so that you can monitor the consumption rates and health of your data center. The appliance monitors and displays peak temperatures for your racks and their components, which can help you identify potential cooling issues in your data center.
