Image Portlets
Use the following image portlets to view, create, and manage image descriptors that are used to
manage, deploy, or migrate images:
•
Software Images Portlet
• VIM Images Portlet
Software Images Portlet
Use the Software Images portlet (Figure 18-1) to view and manage software image descriptors. The
software image descriptors are used to manage, deploy, or migrate images.
From the Software Images portlet, a system administrator creates and maintains the image
snapshots used to create descriptors, a network designer could also create and maintain image
snapshots, and operators (if they have the proper permissions) view descriptors to gain knowledge.
The Software Images portlet also has a maximized view. Both views have the same
pop-up menu
options and by default the same
columns . See Expanded Portlet on page 130 for a description of
its standard options provided.
