Operating Systems management information is displayed under the associated server in the All Assets view.
When you manage a physical or virtual operating system, it appears under the associated server in the All Assets view, as shown in Figure 6-3 and it appears in a special pre-defined operating system group, as shown in Figure 6-4.
Operating systems are automatically added to a homogenous group of operating systems. The group contains directories for each release. In Figure 6-4, the list of Oracle Solaris 10 operating systems includes physical operating systems, virtual hosts, and zones. You can add user-defined groups and create rules to automatically add newly discovered assets to that group, or you can manually add them at any time.
To view information about a specific OS, select the OS from the Assets pane. OS details appear in the tabs across the center pane.
