Solaris LDOM Host Details dashboard


The Solaris LDOM Host Details dashboard provides summarized and detailed information about the capacity usage of the selected host. You can use this information to identify capacity-specific issues in the host.

ImportantDo not make the dashboard editable by using the Make editable option in the dashboard settings. If you want to customize the dashboard, we recommend that you create a copy of the dashboard and customize it.

The dashboard displays the capacity usage trend in charts. The GIB, MIB, or TIB units specified in these charts are the same as GB, MB, or TB.

To view the Solaris LDOM Host Details dashboard

  1. Open BMC Helix Dashboards from BMC Helix Portal.
  2. From the navigation menumenu_icon.png, click Dashboards.
  3. Search for the Helix Continuous Optimization folder and select it.
  4. Click Solaris LDOM Host Details.
  5. From the Host list, select a host to view its details.

You can also access this dashboard from the Solaris LDOM Overview dashboard and the Solaris Dashboard.

The dashboard displays the following details of the selected host:


Configuration Details

Displays the host configuration details, such as hardware and CPU model, CPU cores, CPU threads, and total real memory.
