vCMP guest data visible from host This version provides a summary of vCMP guest data from within the vCMP host. This data facilitates access to the current state of each guest. The BIG-IP Configuration utility shows the current active software image, the provisioned modules, and HA status. You can access each guest for additional information, such as Installed Images and Available Images, and other Resource Provisioned information such as License Status, Required Disk and Required Memory. The Guest name link opens the guest's Properties tab. The HA Status shows a Failed link when there is an HA Status failure. The link opens the guest's HA Status tab.
