The Picture View page appears when a container is selected from the System Name column on the system table view page. The container view page displayed depends on the type of container selected. For example, if a rack is selected, the Rack View page appears. The following are the types of container collection views:

  • Rack View Page

  • Enclosure View Page

Rack View Page

The picture view page for racks and enclosures contains a diagram of the discovered systems in the rack or enclosure if available. The rack name appears along with a picture view, table view, or iconic view of the rack. While signed in to HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), placing your cursor over a server shown in the view, displays information on that particular server, including server blade name, slot number, and the enclosure in which the server is located. You can also click a server name to display information about the server. The System Page appears.

Enclosure View Page

The picture view page for enclosures contains a diagram of the discovered systems in the enclosure if available. The enclosure name appears along with a picture view, table view, or iconic view of the enclosure. While signed in to HP SIM, placing your cursor over a server shown in the view, displays information on that particular server, including server blade name, slot number, and the enclosure in which the server is located. You can also click a server name to display information about the server. The System Page appears.

The following systems are displayed in the picture view for racks and enclosures:

  • Servers of desktops

  • Interconnect switch

  • Power supply enclosure

Also displayed in the picture view for enclosures are slots that have no server or desktop identified and no interconnect switch identified.

Customizing the View

You can change the way the picture view page appears. Click the down arrow on the View as dropdown list, and select table, icon, or picture view. However, the picture view is only available if you have already drilled down to a rack or enclosure by clicking the rack or enclosure name on the system table view page and then switched back to a tabular or iconic view. Drilling down into a rack or enclosure restricts the systems to only those that pertain to the rack or enclosure. It is then be possible to switch back and forth between the other view types.
