Right-click a listed VM, then select any of the available menu options. These are the same
right-click menu options that are available for the VM in the

Virtual Machines

Inventory list.

Double-click a listed VM to view its details tabs.

Wherever N/A appears in the details, it means that the information is not available.

Configuration Tab

This details tab is used only by host servers. You use information available in the tab to effectively
manage the existing VMs hosted on the VM hosts. For example, you can decide to stop a VM when
the memory utilization is high. You can also effectively utilize the VM host by deploying additional
VMs, if required, and you can install applications on the VMs.

You can do the following with this tab:

Click

Processors

to view information about the processors on the host server. This is the

default view:

Click

Memory

to view information about memory usage on the host server:
