Description

Hardware

Displays information on the physical hardware resources of Oracle VM Servers in the server pool. When an Oracle VM Server is discovered, it is listed in the Unassigned Servers folder. When an Oracle VM Server is added to a server pool, it is listed in the Resources folder.

See Section 6.9, “Managing Oracle VM Servers” for more information on managing Oracle VM Servers.

Server Pools

Displays information about the server pools. Use this tab to edit server pool policies, add or remove Oracle VM Servers from a server pool, edit information about a server pool, and delete a server pool.

Select the Resources folder to display this tab.

For more information about managing server pools, see Section 6.8, “Managing Server Pools”.

Networks

Displays information about the networks available to server pools. Use this tab to create, edit, and delete networks.

Select a network in the table to view and edit information about the network ports and VLAN segments used in a network. These network options are displayed in sub-tabs.

Select the Resources folder to display this tab.

For more information on managing networks, see Chapter 5, Managing Networks.

VLAN Groups

Displays information about the VLAN Groups available to the server pool. Use this tab to create, edit and delete VLAN Groups.

Select a VLAN Group in the table to view and edit information about the ports and VLAN Segments used in a VLAN Group. These options are displayed in sub-tabs.

Select the Resources folder to display this tab.

For more information on managing networks, see Chapter 5, Managing Networks.

Servers

Lists the Oracle VM Servers in the server pool. You can perform actions on the Oracle VM Servers using the tab's toolbar, such as start, stop, and edit. You can also use the tab's toolbar to create a virtual machine on a selected Oracle VM Server.

Select a server pool in the tree to display this tab.

See Section 6.9, “Managing Oracle VM Servers” for information on managing Oracle VM Servers.

Info

Displays information about the object select in the tree.

Bonding

Lists the bonded Ethernet ports on the selected Oracle VM Server. Use this tab to create, edit and delete bonds on Ethernet ports.

Select an Oracle VM Server in the tree to display this tab.

For more information on network bonding, see Section 5.4, “Network Bonding”.

Ethernet Ports

Lists the Ethernet ports on the selected Oracle VM Server that can be used for network bridges. Use this tab to edit the type of addressing (none, DHCP or static IP address) used for the Ethernet port.

Select an Oracle VM Server in the tree to display this tab.

For more information on network bridges, see Section 5.5, “Network Bridges”.

Physical Disks
