I'm trying to add a Storage (predefined) view tab into my current node view. When I click on '+Tab' tab, it take me to the screen to add the tab I select Storage and the click 'Done' ... Nothing happens.
Macfinish,
Storage tab shows up when you have the Virtualization Manager Product fully integrated and the Node in question is a VM. Otherwise the Storage tab in node details is hidden. Would you like help with this?

I have Virt..Mgr too, fully integrated and Lic. I would think this should be simple, But,Yes please, I could use the help. Thx
Are you talking about the STM or the SRM product?
I do not have Server Resource Monitor. I only have SAM, NPM, IPAM, VM, DT, & NetFlow.
I mean Storage RM.
The storage tab is part of the vman integration which requires that you have both VMAN and STM or Profiler connected to each other prior to integrating VMAN with Orion.
Sorry, I'm not getting it. What am I missing? Thx
Your all set there in Orion. All you have to do is configure the VMAN to connect to STM and then configure the Orion virtualization integration.
In Virtualization settings you can click the setup virtualization integration and specify the VMAN server and the DNS name for the Orion Server. Use the default admin user in VMAN for the integration. This should then run a wizard to select which data points to monitor from your virtualization infrastructure. Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks,
But I already gone through that.
Anyway, I need to get this fixed ... soon, so I have enlisted help from external at loop1. Maybe they can help by looking into the system.
Thank you very much for you time, attention and help. It is very much appreciated.
Mac,
No worries I am part of loop1 do you need me to pass you to sales to get details on service or do you already have a contract with us?

Can you paste the snapshot of what you are getting in this thread. The previous image did not come through in the message that you sent me.
Thanks Chris,
So it looks like this VM is just a node in Solarwinds and not being monitored by Virtualization Manager. Just to confirm, has the host or vCenter where the VM resides on been added as a data source in Virtualization Manager?
I'm pretty sure the host was added correctly in the VM. Does this look right?
Yes your Virtualization Manager (VMAN) is monitoring the VM correctly which likely means that we cant match up the VMs that were already in Orion to VMs that are in Virtualization Manager because the ManagedObjectID in the Orion database is different than the world ID in the VMAN database. WE use the following 3 things to to match up VMs:
WorId ID
BIOS IDName
Are you by any chance monitoring the VM directly through the ESX host instead of the vCenter? If you monitoring the host directly, there are two options available:
Option 1: If the host appears under the vCenter tree in the (Virtualization Assets resource) on the Virtualization Summary page you can simply go into settings and change the polling to use the vCenter instead of the Host.
Option 2: If the Host appears outside of the vCenter then we can run a query to match up the VMs between Orion and Virtualization manager and then change the polling to vCenter.
