Locating virtual machines hosts with impact in the layout

When VMware integration and impact analysis has been configured, ITA shows virtual machine hosts in the layout that have been associated with potentially failing equipment, e.g. a UPS, PDU, or rack PDU.

You can view impact on virtual machine hosts in the layout since associated hosts are highlighted on the modeled servers:

Red icon: Critically impacted virtual machine host. For example, if a critical alarm occurs on the power supply.
Yellow icon: Non-critically impacted virtual machine host. For example, if a critical alarm occurs on one of the power supplies in a redundant power supply setup.
Gray icon: Non-impacted virtual machine host.

Note: If you have set up the tool tips to include this information in > Tools> Preferences > Tool Tips, virtual machine host data will be shown when you hover over a virtual machine host icon in the rack layout.

To locate a specific impacted virtual machine host in the layout:

Double-click the room in Navigation.
Right-click the virtual machine host in Navigation, and select Show in Layout to identify and highlight the server in the rack layout with the associated host. Multiple devices can be associated to one server in the layout.
