4.7 Linking to the VM Management page

The nodes contained in the Node Management table can contain links to their associated VMs in the VM Management table. Use the following instructions to configure this feature.

To link from a node to the VM Management page

  1. Open the nodes.xml file located in the Viewpoint home directory.
  2. Locate the <fields> element (within <table> in the <node-management> section).
  3. Insert the <vm-count> element.
  4. <node-management>
      <table>
        <fields>
          <vm-count />
          ...
        </fields>
        ...
      </table>
      ...
    </node-management>

    A column is configured with a link to each Node's VMs, making it possible to navigate to the VM Management Page with the page filtered on the linking node.
