A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Server map

The Server Map displays the physical layout of how elements of a Tiers Map connect to a set of servers (virtual or physical), including the process families that are running on servers and how those processes families are connected to one another.

The Server Map shows the external IP addresses (client IPs) that are connected to the application and the external IP addresses (external dependencies) that the application connects to and depends on. If one of these external connections is an SA managed server, then SAV displays the connection as a server.

If you want to include these servers to the scan, right-click the server and select Add. Devices. After the device is added, click Refresh Snapshot on the SAV toolbar.

In addition, in both the Server Map and Network Map, a DNS Servers element displays DNS servers in use by all the servers in the scan. If managed server information is known about any of these servers, then you can right-click to Add Devices. No connections will be shown to this DNS servers node.

If you want to see the type of service being used for connections between processes (and the devices they run on) in the Server Map, such as http, ssh, click the Show IPC Service Names in Maps button.

VMware ESXi hypervisor servers will not expand to show process information in the Server Map.

Showing virtual server relationships in the server map

If you scanned virtual servers or devices in SAV, or any devices that contain or are connected to other virtual devices, then clicking Show Virtual/Physical Containment Relationships will display the relationships between virtual servers and the physical devices that host them in the Server Map (and any other map that shows virtual devices).

Clicking this button shows virtual servers inside of the hypervisor that is hosting them, so you can see which servers are virtual, and which are physical, and how they relate to one another.

The following figure shows the Server Map displaying a physical (non-virtual) server (top) and a virtual server (bottom) with the hypervisor name showing in the title bar.

Server map

For virtual server technologies, if you choose to scan only the hypervisor but not its guests, then you only see limited information about the virtual servers and will not be able to open them and view their contents.

For all Solaris global zones that are scanned, the Virtual Map displays a list named Other Zones. It contains all processes visible in the global zone that are actually running in a non-global zone, but that were not included in the scan.

For VMware ESX hypervisors, vSwitches are shown alongside virtual machines, in addition to the connections between the virtual machines and the vSwitches' port groups, which always appear as a green matching-duplex ethernet connection.

VMware ESXi hypervisor servers will not display process family and runtime information.

The information that SAV is able to display is also dependent upon whether or not the hypervisor or virtual server has an agent installed on it.

For example:

It is possible that a virtual server has an agent installed on it, but not its hypervisor. In this case, SAV only displays the scanned virtual server but not its hypervisor.

It is possible to have a hypervisor that has an agent installed on it, but some or all of its guest virtual servers do not. In this case, SAV shows all guest virtual servers but only with limited virtual server information. In other words, you won’t be able to open it (drill down into it).

If you open a virtual server and the arrangement of server boxes is difficult to view inside the map, click the Rotate Layout icon on the toolbar and SAV will rotate the layout for a different unique maps of the servers.

Starting, stopping, suspending, resetting virtual servers

In addition to viewing virtual servers and their relationships, you can also stop, pause, start, and reset virtual servers inside of SAV (but not physical hypervisor servers). Using either the SAV toolbar, or by right-clicking a virtual server, you can perform the following functions on a virtual server (VMware VM or a Solaris zone):

Start Virtual Servers: If the virtual server is currently paused, it is resumed. This is enabled if the selected virtual servers are stopped or paused.
Stop Virtual Servers: Stops selected virtual servers that are running.
Suspend Virtual Servers: Pauses selected virtual servers that are running. Only available for VMware’s VMs, not Solaris local zones.
Restart Virtual Servers : Restarts if any selected objects are virtual servers that are running.

To start, stop, suspend, or reset a virtual server:

From one of the SAV maps that display virtual servers (Servers, Network), select a virtual server.
From either the right-click or from the Manage menu select Start, Stop, Suspend, or Restart Selected Virtual Server.
If you want to see virtual servers and their relationships to their hypervisors, click Show Virtual/Physical Containment Relationships on the SAV toolbar.
