System Page; Viewing Racks - HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation User Manual

There are two specific search criteria for enclosures:
Rack
Enclosure
Running searches using these criteria returns a list of systems contained in the selected racks or enclosures.
Any criteria, except for the two listed previously, returns the racks and enclosures themselves, not the systems
in those racks and enclosures. For instance, a system name search for the rack Franklin 1 would return
the system Franklin 1, not any systems in Franklin 1.
Two default collections are related to racks and enclosures and are listed under the System Type collection:
All Racks
All Enclosures
On the system table view page, racks display in two formats:
Encl1 in Rack1
Rack1
The Picture View page can be displayed by clicking rack hyperlink.
Clicking an enclosure name in the System Name column on the system table view page produces a list of
all discovered systems in the selected enclosure. The status for both racks and enclosures is always Unknown.
The Picture View page displays if the server is part of an enclosure or rack. This page contains a diagram
of the discovered systems in the enclosure and, if available, in the rack. While signed in to HP SIM and
placing your cursor over a server shown in the view, you receive information on that particular server,
including server blade name, slot number, and the enclosure in which the server is located.
NOTE: The picture view for a c-class enclosure is enhanced to display a link to access the virtual domain.

Viewing racks

To view a created rack, click All Racks from the System and Event Collections panel. All of the created
racks are listed. Select the rack that you want to view additional details. By default, the picture view of the
rack is displayed. The picture view of the rack also distinguishes the blades that are running Virtual Machines
(VMs) on them. When you move your mouse over the image of the rack, these details are displayed. In
addition, it also displays the number of VMs that are running.
