Sorting Systems in the Enterprise View
You can choose the order in which components appear in the Enterprise View. You
can select the order in which the branches are displayed, and you can choose to
have all components listed either alphabetically (by name) or chronologically (by
the date on which they were added to Adaptec Storage Manager).
You might want to do this to make it easier to monitor your network or find a
particular component in the Enterprise View.
By default, the branches appear in this order when you install Adaptec Storage
Manager for iSCSI Storage:
• The iSCSI Storage branch
• The Direct Attached Storage branch (if the local system contains Adaptec direct
attached storage)
• The Network Attached Storage branch (if your network includes GuardianOS-
powered Snap Servers)
Also by default, components of the Enterprise View are listed in alphabetical order.
To change how components are ordered in the Enterprise View:
1 In the File menu, select Preferences.
2 Click the Display options tab.
3 In the System tree orientation drop-down menu, select the Enterprise View
branch that you want to appear first. (Options available in the menu depend on
what type of storage is included in your network.)
4 In the System tree sorting drop-down menu, select either Alphabetical or
Chronological.
5 Click OK.
The Enterprise View is updated.
Note You can also select which branches of the Enterprise View appear or don’t
appear. See page 52 for more information.
Setting the Standard Unit of Measure
You can set Adaptec Storage Manager to show disk drive capacity in measures of
megabytes (MB),
gigabytes (GB), or terabytes (TB). You can also choose the Auto-
select setting to allow Adaptec Storage Manager to show the most appropriate unit
of measure based on disk drive size. The Auto-select option allows different disk
drives to be shown in different units of measure.
By default, disk drives are shown in GB.
