Use the Topology Overview to see an overall, high-level view of your storage environment. The topologoy viewer provides a central location for viewing entities in your storage environment, and for monitoring, troubleshooting, and performing storage management tasks.
The default view of the Overview page is a summary of the computers, fabrics, storage subsystems, and other entities in your storage environment. Each of these can be expanded to see progressively detailed views of the contents of those summary objects.
You can navigate around the topology view by double-clicking objects to see increasingly detailed views, or by using the minimap to move the focus of the topology view. For more information on how to use the topology view and its tools, see Overview of the Topology Viewer.
