Menu/Option |
Description |
Edit Menu Options |
|
Add Device |
Allows you to manually add storage subsystems to the management domain. |
Remove Device |
Allows you to remove storage subsystems from the management domain. |
Configure Mail Server |
Allows you to specify a mail server and sender e-mail address for every storage subsystem in the management domain. |
Alert Destinations |
Allows you to configure the destination addresses for delivery of e-mail and SNMP trap messages containing critical event details affecting a storage subsystem. Also, this option allows you to validate potential destination addresses by sending test notification messages and reporting the delivery status. |
Comment |
Allows you to add storage subsystem comments to the Device Table. |
View Menu Options |
|
By Name |
Sorts rows in the Device Table according to storage subsystem name. |
By Status |
Sorts rows in the Device Table according to storage subsystem status. |
By Management Type |
Sorts rows in the Device Table according to storage subsystem management type. |
By Comment |
Sorts rows in the Device Table according to storage subsystem comment. |
Partially Managed Devices |
Lists partially managed devices in the management domain and gives you the opportunity to correct the condition. |
Tools Menu Options |
|
Automatic Discovery |
Provides an automatic mechanism for discovering storage subsystems on the local sub-network. |
Rescan |
Provides an automatic mechanism for discovering newly attached host-agent managed storage subsystems on a selected host. |
Update Monitor |
Synchronizes the Event Monitor with the storage management software, if necessary, so that both applications have the most current information about the storage subsystem. |
Manage Device |
Launches the Subsystem Management Window for a selected storage subsystem. |
Execute Script |
Provides the capability to perform batch management tasks using scripts. |
Load Configuration |
Loads the logical configuration information of a storage subsystem from a script file onto another storage subsystem with the same physical configuration, or onto the same storage subsystem for disaster recovery. |

The Device Tree View is one of two Enterprise Management Window views. The Device Tree View provides a tree-structured view of nodes in the management domain. Double-click on the storage management station node or host node to expand or collapse the view of their child nodes. If you double-click on a storage subsystem node, it will launch the Subsystem Management software for that particular storage subsystem.

The Storage Management Station |
Child Nodes of the Storage Management Station Node |
Description |
Host |
Represents a host machine, with attached host-agent managed Note: If you hold the mouse over a host node, a tooltip displays the IP address of the host. |
Storage Subsystem |
A storage subsystem node may be either directly managed Notes:
|
Unidentified |
Devices that you add that were not accessible at the time of the Add Device operation. |
Each storage subsystem is represented by a single row in the Device Table. The columns in the Device Table display data about the storage subsystem, as described below.
Column |
Description |
||||||||||||
Name |
The name of the storage subsystem. If the storage subsystem is unnamed, the default name is "<unnamed>." |
||||||||||||
Status |
An icon and text label reporting the true status of the storage subsystem. For more information, see Monitoring Storage Subsystem Status. |
||||||||||||
Network Management Type |
|
||||||||||||
Comment |
Any comments that you have entered about the particular storage subsystem. |
Note: Sort the rows in the Device Table in ascending or descending order by either clicking on a column heading; or using the View >> By Name, View >> By Status, View >> By Management Type, or View >> By Comment pull-down menu options.
Note: Selecting an Unidentified node in the Device Tree displays an empty Device Table.
In addition to using the mouse, you can also use the keyboard for navigation:
The Overall Health Status is shown in the lower left corner of the Enterprise Management Window and displays a consolidated health status for all of the known storage subsystems in the management domain. For more information, see Monitoring Storage Subsystem Status.
At the bottom of the Enterprise Management Window, to the right of the Overall Health Status area, is the Progress Line and the Progress bar.
