communication with Systems Insight Manager. Should changes be made to the Systems Insight Manager
certificate, you must restart the Insight Control virtual machine management service to use the updated

Insight Control virtual machine management interface overview
Insight Control virtual machine management provides central management and control for virtual machines
hosted on Microsoft Hyper-V server, VMware ESX Server, Citrix XenServer, or Xen on RHEL or SLES.
Insight Control virtual machine management detects virtual machine status changes initiated by other supported
virtualization management consoles. The System Status icons on the HP SIM System Page indicate these
status changes. To access the System Page, click the system name in the HP SIM console. If Microsoft
Hyper-V server is used, the Launch SCVMM button appears. If VMware ESX Server is used, the Launch
vCenter button appears.
The left frame of the HP SIM console displays a node navigational tree. A list of the virtual machine hosts
and their virtual machine guests appears in the Systems→Shared→Systems by Type directory.
To display all virtual machine hosts and guests managed by Insight Control virtual machine management in
the HP SIM console, expand the Systems→Shared→Systems by Type directory in the navigational tree,
and then click All Virtual Machine Hosts or All Virtual Machines.

the following information for the host, click a virtual machine host in the HP SIM console, and then click the
