Resource Orchestrator provides NetworkViewer, which visualizes networks.
The network map helps visualize and relate physical networks (between servers and switches) with virtualized networks (from VLANs or virtual switches used in server virtualization software).
Network settings can be easily checked during configuration.
The link statuses of servers and switches, or switch port statuses can be checked, and the effect on server operations caused by network errors can be easily investigated.
Figure 5.3 NetworkViewer (Express/Virtual Edition)
The NetworkViewer displays a visual representation of physical/virtual networks comprised of servers, network devices, VLANs, and virtual switches linked to the logical networks within L-Platforms and L-Servers.
Network settings can easily be checked during configuration and operation.
The link statuses of servers and switches, or switch port statuses can be checked, and the effect on server operations caused by network errors can be easily investigated.
As relationships between L-Platforms, L-Servers, and resources can be checked, the effects of failures of physical/virtual networks on logical networks can be easily investigated.
