The tree view provides an automatically populated representation of the actual physical hierarchy of blade components (for instance, blades within enclosures within racks and is a good place to create and utilize collections of components).
When an HP BladeSystem component or collection is selected either in the Systems and Events panel panel or from the HP BladeSystem page, the tree view is displayed in the HP SIM’s workspace. The tree view is initially collapsed. Systems might appear in multiple locations, since they can be in multiple collections. Users are only able to view systems that they are authorized to see. Therefore, if a user is not authorized to view a particular system in the tree, that branch is not displayed. The following sections are available on the tree view page:
Expanding the Tree ViewAt the top of each tree view there are two expansion buttons. To expand all branches of the tree, click . To collapse all branches of the tree to first level branches, click . If there are too many systems to load into the expand all page, a popup message appears stating that there are too many systems in the tree and the function cannot be performed.
Individual branch systems can be expanded by clicking the expansion icon. The hyperlinked name of the system or component itself is not an expansion control, but a drilldown to get more information about that system. When a branch is collapsed, the icon appears as . When clicked, the branch expands to show all its component contents, and the icon toggles to . Clicking the icon again collapses the branch and toggles the icon back.
Selection in the Tree View
The selection control for the tree view cycles through four states using the following check icons:
First, initial state, nothing selected.
Second state, both the container and its contents are selected. If the contents were not already expanded, the next level of contents are expanded to show the selection.
Third state, all of the contents are recursively selected. The contents are expanded (if not already) to show they are selected. Only the next level is expanded.
Fourth state, just the collection is selected.
Tree View Status
The tree view displays status data for each system. The status icon is located in the left of the tree view next to the selection checkbox. If the status of the systems is Unknown, no status icon appears. If the systems are collections, the status to the left of the collection name is shown as the most critical status of the systems in the collection, including the collection status. The status of the collection itself is displayed to the right of the system name along with a system type label.
Available Drilldowns
The tree view contains hyperlinks for the system name and status icon drilldowns. If a system name is clicked, the System Page for that particular system appears.
Selection States for Collections
In the tree view, you cannot select a collection and the members of the same collection simultaneously. When a collection is selected, the members are displayed, and their selection boxes are disabled. The selection states for a collection are:
The initial state, nothing is selected
The collection itself is selected and the contents of the collection are disabled
.
The members of collection are selected; the collection itself is unselected
Additionally, there is a checkbox at the top of the tree that enables you to select the collection that is being viewed. When the checkbox is checked, all the checkboxes under the collection are cleared and disabled. When the checkbox is unchecked, the checkboxes under the collection become selectable.
Tree View ButtonsThree buttons at the bottom of the tree view page are available to users with full-configuration-rights.
[Save selection as]. When a system is selected, this button is used to save the selection with a new name. Changes are saved on a per-user, per-collection basis.
[Delete]. This button is used to delete one or more systems from the HP Systems Insight Manager database. Select the systems to be deleted, and click [Delete]. A dialog box appears. Click [OK] to continue with the deletion or click [Cancel] to cancel the operation. The tree view is refreshed.
[Print]. Click [Print] to display a printable version of the tree. To print the tree, from the browser, select File Print.
Buttons are disabled if you do not have appropriate rights. However, the [Print] button appears for all users.
