Overview of Views
Resource Pools Relationship Tree View
The Resource Pools Relationship Tree View is provided in the vmExplorer Dashboard.
If you select a Resource Pool container from the Topology View on the Virtual
Infrastructure View and click the Summary navigation tab within the vmExplorer
Primary View, a Resource Pools Relationship Tree View is displayed in the Primary
View. A Resource Pools Relationship Tree contains every Resource Pool that belongs to
the Clusters within the associated VirtualCenter.
Purpose and Content
The Resource Pools Relationship Tree View is useful if you want to see how the
Resource Pools within the Clusters are laid out or if you want to take a look at the
utilization statistics for each configured Resource Pool on the VirtualCenter.
The default Resource Pools Relationship Tree simply displays the names of the various
Resource Pools and their parent/child relationships.
You can use the Normal Zoom Level button on the mini map at the top right of the
Relationship Tree to zoom into a more detailed version of the Tree. You can use the
Minimized Zoom Level button on the mini map to zoom back out again.
You can browse through a Relationship Tree by clicking and dragging the rectangular
shadow provided on the mini map.

titled “Interacting with the Cartridge for VMware” in the vFoglight Cartridge for
