Navigating the HP Virtual Connect Manager GUI

Navigation overview

The HP Virtual Connect Manager navigation system consists of a tree view on the left side of the screen that

lists all of the system devices. The tree view remains visible at all times.
The right side of the screen, which includes a pull-down menu at the top, displays details for the selected

device or activity.
An activity indicator, which is tethered to the bottom of the browser window, displays actions being

performed by the VC GUI.

Tree view

The tree view aids in navigation within Virtual Connect Manager. The appearance of the tree view depends

on user privileges. If a user account is configured without network, server, storage, or domain privileges,
some options might not be visible in the tree view.
The tree view provides category-based navigation for the major systems configured within Virtual Connect.

When a category is expanded (by clicking the white plus sign in the blue box next to the category), all

elements associated with that category are displayed.
Search for logical and physical objects by typing the name of the item in the Find Configuration Items search

field. Use the following syntax to find objects of a specific type:

ItemType: ItemName

Valid values for ItemType include:

Profile

Network

Uplink Set
