Accessing VM Manager from HP SIM
To use all the VM Manager facilities (view all screens and perform all menu actions), you must
have VSE All Tools authorization. To access VM Manager from HP SIM, follow these steps:
1. From the HP SIM Home page, select Tools→VSE Management, as shown in Figure 3-3.

The first time you start Virtualization Manager, the Visualization tab appears with the default
Physical and Virtual perspective, as shown in Figure 3-4. This perspective shows all physical
and virtual nodes in graphical compartments. When you start Virtualization Manager any time
after, the software checks whether you had previously set a default view by modifying user
preferences (modify user preferences by selecting Configure→User Preferences... from the
Virtualization Manager menu bar). If you set a collection such as VM Hosts, Virtualization
Manager displays the collection for all VM Hosts and virtual machines.
