An example of the Set WBEM Credentials page is shown in Figure 3. Enter the appropriate information and click OK, or click Cancel to skip this step and advance to the VM Manager VM Host Virtual Machines tab. For more information about setting WBEM credentials, see “Setting security credentials” (page 15).

Navigating VM Manager

VM Manager provides numerous navigation aids, as shown in Figure 9, which is an example of a VM Manager view from within the Matrix Operating Environment environment.

NOTE: The VM Manager navigation aids available in a particular view vary according to the view. The view in Figure 9 shows most of the navigation aids that VM Manager provides. Missing from this view are navigation buttons such as Previous and Next, visible in some of the Create Virtual Machines wizard pages (discussed in “Creating virtual machines” (page 79)). Certain VM Manager pages (such as the Start Virtual Machine page) include OK and Cancel buttons, which complete or cancel an action, returning you to the VM Manager view from which you initiated the action.

1Click the Go back link to return to the previous view.

NOTE: Avoid using your browser's Back and Forward buttons in VM Manager. When you use these buttons, VM Manager cannot identify that you have changed to a different view. This can cause problems, including incorrect display of objects selected in the current view. Instead, use the links and navigation buttons provided by VM Manager.

If you navigate from one VM Manager view to another (for example, from VM Host view to VM Properties view), click the Go back link in the new view (and on any subsequent tabs you navigate to in that same view) to return to the previous VM Manager view. For example, if you navigate from the VM Host view to the VM Properties view or to the Vswitch Properties view, clicking the Go back link returns you to the VM Host view. If you navigate from the VM Properties view to the VM Host view or to the Vswitch Properties view, clicking the Go back link returns you to the VM Properties view.

Using VM Manager from Matrix Operating Environment, if the VM Manager view was accessed directly from HP Matrix OE visualization, clicking the Go back link returns you to HP Matrix OE visualization (as indicated in Figure 9); clicking the Go back link on any tab that you navigate to in the same view also returns you to the HP Matrix OE visualization.
