The Symantec High Availability dashboard is the consolidated graphic user interface of ApplicationHA that lets you administer configured applications on virtual machines in a VMware vCenter-administered datacenter.

The dashboard is fully integrated with the VMware vSphere Client GUI. The dashboard appears in the Symantec High Availability tab of the VMware vSphere Client GUI. To view the dashboard, in the inventory view of the vSphere Client, you must click a datacenter or a VMware cluster, and then click the Symantec High Availability tab in the right pane.

On the dashboard, you can view the aggregate health of the configured applications across a datacenter. You can also drill down to a VMware cluster and view the aggregate health of configured applications in that cluster. You can further drill down to an individual application, on an individual virtual machine, and view or change the state of the application.

You can start or stop the application. You can enable or disable the heartbeat mechanism for the application. You can also take the application offline for maintenance (without raising any high availability alert), or bring back the application online after maintenance.
