Click a Node in the Nodes tab to open the Node Profile page. The Node Profile page includes tabs that contain information about the node.
The Interfaces tab contains all the node's interfaces. You can add, edit, and delete interfaces on this tab, and select the default interface. Nodes that support virtual media include an additional column that shows whether virtual media is enabled or disabled.
The Associations tab contains all categories and elements assigned to the node. You can change the associations by making different selections.
See Associations, Categories, and Elements.
The Location & Contacts tab contains information about a device's location and contact information, such as phone numbers, that you may need when working on a device. You can change the information in the fields by typing in new information.
See Adding Location and Contacts to a Node Profile.
The Notes tab contains a tool that enables users to leave notes for about a device for other users to read. All notes display in the tab with the date, username, and IP address of the user who added the note.
If you have the Device, Port, and Node Management privilege, you can clear all notes from the node profile. Click the Clear button.
See Adding Notes to a Node Profile.
You can view the reasons that a node was accessed in the Audit tab. Users must enter a reason for access before connecting to a node when node auditing has been enabled for the user group.
The Audit tab is hidden if the feature is disabled, or if no reasons for access have been entered.
See Configuring Access Auditing for User Groups.
Control system server nodes, such as VMware's Virtual Center, include the Control System Data tab.

You can access a topology view of the virtual infrastructure, link to associated node profiles, or connect to the control system and open the Summary tab.
Virtual host nodes, such as VMware's ESX servers, include the Virtual Host Data tab. The Virtual Host Data tab contains information from the virtual host server that is refreshed when the tab opens. You can access a topology view of the virtual infrastructure, link to associated node profiles, or connect to the virtual host and open the Summary tab. If you have Device, Port, and Node Management permission, you can Reboot and Force Reboot the virtual host server.
Virtual machine nodes, such as VMware's Virtual Machines, include the Virtual Machine Data tab. The Virtual Machine Data tab contains information from the virtual machine that is refreshed when the tab opens. You can access a topology view of the virtual infrastructure, link to associated node profiles, or connect to the virtual host and open the Summary tab.
