To Provide a Background Image for the Topology View

You can select background images to place your managed objects in the approximate locations where the physical network components exist. This ability can be useful if you have managed objects that are located in various states or countries. Once you have set the backgrounds and placed the objects where they reside, if a problem occurs, you would be able to respond more quickly because you know where the managed object is.

1. To choose a background for the current topology view, choose Set Topology Background from the View menu in the main console window.

   The Set Topology Background window appears.

2. Click the name of the geographical location that you want to use.

   • To apply multiple instances of the background image, make sure that Tile with this image is selected.

4. To apply your changes and close the Set Topology Background window, click Set.
