Viewing Object Relationships
One of the features of managing your virtual infrastructure with vSphere is viewing relationships between
inventory objects.
You can view the relationships between inventory objects relationships in the following ways:
Using the Maps feature
Shows the inventory object relationships in graphical form.
Clicking an object in the
inventory
Provides a list of tabbed content that lists related objects.
For example, a datastore has a virtual machine tab that lists the virtual machines
that use the datastore. There is also a host tab that list the hosts that can access
the datastore.
Selecting Hosts and
Clusters from the Home
page
Provides a view of the set of virtual machines that run on a particular host,
cluster, or resource pool. Each object has a tab that displays all the virtual
machines associated or contained within it.
When you view the hosts and clusters page, virtual machine folders are not
displayed. Because virtual machine names are unique within virtual machine
folders, you might see more than one virtual machine with the same name. To
view virtual machines as they are arranged in the folder hierarchy, use the VMs
and Templates view.
Selecting VMs and
Templates from the
Home page
Displays all virtual machines and templates. Through this view you can
organize virtual machines into folder hierarchies.
Selecting Datastores
from the Home page
Displays all datastores in the datacenter. Through this view you can organize
datastores into arbitrary folder hierarchies.
Selecting Networking
objects from the Home
page
Displays all abstract network devices, called vSwitches and vNetwork
Distributed Switches. Through this view you can organize networking devices
into arbitrary folder hierarchies.
Add an Inventory Object
You can add an inventory object only to its corresponding hierarchical parent. Objects you are allowed to add
are listed on the parent menus.
Add a Cluster, Resource Pool, Host, or Virtual Machine
Clusters, resource pools, hosts, and virtual machines can be added from the Hosts and Clusters view in vSphere
Client.
Procedure
1 From the vSphere Client, right-click the parent object in the inventory.
2 Select
New
<Object>
, where <Object> is a folder, datacenter, cluster, resource pool, host, or virtual machine.
3 Complete the wizard and click Finish.
