Storage view maps
A storage view map shows an overview of the components in a storage view, and allows you to drill down further to see the
health and properties of all underlying storage objects, down to the array level. You can print, export, search for an object and
zoom in an out of a map. This topic describes features specific to storage view maps.
NOTE: Storage view maps do not support multi-cluster storage objects. The map will show the objects only on one cluster.
The initial map view
When you launch a storage view map, the initial view shows the entire map. All healthy virtual volumes are shown collapsed (no
connecting line to supporting devices). Virtual volumes with an Operational status other than OK are shown expanded (showing
connecting line to supporting devices) and are colored red or yellow, depending on the severity of the status. Identifying
unhealthy storage objects in a map provides more information on the use of color to indicate unhealthy storage objects.
Storage view maps can be very large depending on the number of objects in the view. To help you navigate the map, there is a
map overview area in the upper portion of the panel that allows you to pan and zoom using a birds-eye view of the map. Under
