Related Objects views

At least one Related Objects view is provided in the VMware Explorer dashboard.

Related Objects views are part of the VMware Explorer Primary view and are typically located at the bottom of the Primary view. More than one Related Objects view may appear at a time.

Purpose

Related Objects views provide summary information on either the parent or child objects or both (whichever is applicable) of the object being viewed in the dashboard.

Figure 71. Related Objects views

Related Objects views differ from each other and may not appear at all depending on the object or collection of objects selected from the Virtual Infrastructure view and on the navigation tab selected from the VMware Explorer Primary view heading.

Related Objects views for an individual object display tables that list either the parents or children or both (whichever is applicable) of the selected object, and provide pertinent summary details about each one. The Related Objects view for a collection of objects displays a table that lists all of the objects in the selected collection and provides pertinent summary details about each one. You can sort Related Objects view tables by a particular column by clicking the corresponding column heading. If you select an object from the table by clicking on one of the table rows, all of the views in the VMware Explorer dashboard get updated with information about that object.

Resource Pools Relationship Tree view

Purpose

The Resource Pools Relationship Tree view is provided in the VMware Explorer 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 VMware Explorer 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.

For more information about the VMware Explorer dashboard, see Investigating performance metrics .

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.

Figure 72. Resource Pools Relationship Tree view

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.

Shares tab

Purpose

The VMware Explorer’s Shares tab displays the CPU and memory shares that are in use by the virtual machines associated with the selected component.
