This section describes the trees used in the RC console.
Figure 2.4 Tree Panel
In the tree panel, clicking the area on the upper-left enables selection and display of the following 5 types of tree: server resources, network resources, power monitoring devices, management software, and VLAN.
Chassis, servers, physical OS's, VM hosts, VM guests, and LAN switches managed in Resource Coordinator VE are displayed in a tree view. Resources are primarily displayed in registration order. However, for server blades within a common chassis, the order by which Resource Coordinator VE detects blades takes precedence.
Resources displayed in the resource tree are represented by an icon and their resource name. For details on the icons used to indicate different resources, refer to "5.2 Resource Status" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Operation Guide".
For a non-registered resource, one of the following registration states is displayed at the end of the resource's name.
[Unregistered] | The resource was automatically detected, but has not been registered yet. |
[Registering] | The resource is being registered. |
[Admin server] | This server is the admin server itself. |
If a label was set for a resource (in BladeViewer), that label is displayed after the resource name.
