Topology overview
Starting PowerVC 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 virtual machine (VM) to storage and further to volume in one
click.
In addition to viewing the resource connections, you can click a component to view more details. This visualization at the resource level helps you to debug and detect errors.
Go to the Topology feature under the Dashboard menu. Under the Topology feature 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.
The image that is given here depicts a sample topology diagram.
- What if a VM is connected to multiple resources?
-
The topology diagram is meticulously designed so that you can view the resource connectivity diagram with ease. Click specific path indicator and relevant connectivity is highlighted.
