An image of operation when using Virtual Edition is given below.

Regular Operations
Once resources are registered with Resource Orchestrator, power operations such as startup or stop using a single window are available, with no need to be aware of the differences between the virtual environments, the server hardware models, or the OS types.
Operations When Trouble Occurs
Check the statuses of blade servers using BladeViewer.
When a network error has occurred, check NetworkViewer. Check the link statuses of servers and switches, or the switch port statuses, and investigate the effect the network error has on server operations.
Operations for Regular Server Hardware Maintenance
Configure the VM Home Position settings.
Before maintaining server hardware, back up the guest OS to another VM.
Perform maintenance of the server hardware.
The guest OS which is backed up on the other VM when switching over servers can easily be returned to its original status before server switchover using VM Home Position.
Operations when Server Hardware Fails
Define spare servers in advance.
When using PRIMERGY servers or Fujitsu M10/SPARC Enterprise, recover applications upon hardware failure by automatically switching over primary servers with pre-assigned spare servers.
