The Active Connectors page provides a single location from which you can audit all of the virtualization servers you've connected to your VSA 10 environment. From this page, you can see the runtime state of each hypervisor's virtual hosts, detect unhealthy instances, review events, and retrieve detailed information about each endpoint.
This article describes the page's layout and functions.Overview
From the left navigation menu in VSA 10, navigate to Devices > Active Connectors.
As you navigate, you'll see the following features and fields:

Click any connector to view details of the associated hypervisor and its hosts. Refer to Hypervisor details pane for more information. |
Hypervisor details paneClicking any connector will cause VSA 10 will attempt to open a socket to the target hypervisor and send a virtual machine introspection (VMI) request. Once the connection is established, the following information will appear in the details pane.
IMPORTANT If the hypervisor is unreachable, you'll instead see the error message, "Probe 'hostname' is offline."
