Topology overview
Starting PowerVC version 2.1.0, the Topology
feature
provides you with a holistic view of resources in a project. A simple search for any given virtual
machine in a project and PowerVC generates an
end-to-end path from VM to storage and further to volume in one click.
In addition to viewing the resource connections, you can click on a component to view more details. This visualization at the resource level helps you to debug and detect errors.
Navigate to Topology feature under Dashboard menu where you can specify or select a VM from the search list and view the interconnectivity of the VM with other resources in a project.
What type of resource connection can I view in a topology diagram?
The topology diagram depicts connectivity between a VM, host, VIOS, FC port, fabric, storage, and volume.
What if a VM is connected to multiple resources?
The topology diagram is meticulously designed so that you can view resource connectivity diagram with ease. Click specific path indicator and relevant connectivity is highlighted.
The image given here depicts a sample topology diagram with selected resource connectivity path highlighted.
