VM Properties Storage tab
The VM Properties Storage tab shows state and configuration information for a specific virtual machine.
Quick reference
Figure 39 VM Properties Storage tab
1Goes back to the previous view, in this case the VM Host view. If you accessed the VM Properties view from HP Matrix OE visualization, the link returns you to HP Matrix OE visualization. In HP SMH, when you first access this page from HP SMH, the link is not provided. The link appears whenever you move from one VM Manager view to another (such as from VM Host view to VM Properties view, in which case the Go back to Integrity Virtual Machines Manager: Manage Host link appears on the VM Properties view).
2With the Show physical host bus adapters check box selected (as in this example), the view includes the complete storage bus structure, host bus adapters, and multipath storage configurations. This view may take longer to render and can be more challenging for discerning the associations between virtual machines and devices, especially when many multipath storage devices exist on the VM Host. By default (the check box being unselected), the view is simpler, showing only the specific storage devices that are being used as backing devices. For a multipath device, the simple view shows only the device special file (DSF) path, as specified when the virtual storage device was created. In contrast, the complex view displays all DSF versions of the same device, including (on an HP-UX 11i v3 VM Host) the persistent DSF.
When you navigate to another VM Manager view and return to this view again, the host bus adapters check box retains its state. In other words, if the box is checked when you navigate away from the VM Properties Storage tab, it remains checked when you navigate back (you continue to see the complex view on return). If the box is unchecked, it remains unchecked when you return (you continue to see the simple view). The check box state on the VM Properties Storage tab does not affect the state of the same check box on the VM Host Storage tab. For example, selecting the check box on the VM Properties Storage tab does not automatically affect the check box and view of the VM Host Storage tab.
