Topology - L0:Storage View
The L0:Storage view displays all known storage subsystems and tape libraries in your environment.
Topology View
The topology view contains a graphical representation of the storage
subsystems and tape libraries in your environment. Storage subsystems are grouped
into the Subsystems group and tape libraries are grouped into the Tape Libraries
group.
You can do the following in the topology view:
- Examine the spatial rendering of objects and their relationship to each other
in your environment and orient yourself for the tasks.
- If your environment contains a large number of objects, the topology view might not
be able to display all the objects in the same view. You can pan
to different areas of the topology by using the minimap, which contains miniature
representations of the objects in your environment.
- Each group contains icons that represent objects within that
group. You can click the plus sign (+) in the group to reveal all
the objects in the group. You can click the minus sign (-) in a group
to hide the objects in the group.
- To display a subsystem or tape library group in context with its related
environmental entities, double-click a group. This opens the context level view of the
group (L1:Subsystems view or L1:Tape Libraries view).
- To display a detailed view of a subsystem or tape library, expand the Subsystems
group or Tape Libraries group, and double-click an object in the group. This opens the
detail level view of the selected object (L2:Subsystem view or L2:Tape Library view).
- To perform actions on an object, right-click an object and select an item from the
actions menu.
Tabular View
The tabular view below the topology view contains detailed information about the
subsystems and tape libraries in your environment.
Attributes of the objects in the topology view are organized into tabs in the tabular
view. Click an item in the following list to display
information about a tab:
