Help

the Map Overview is a section that lists the storage objects in the storage view. Expanding a list and selecting an object from
this list will cause the map to zoom and pan to the selected object.
After zooming in or out of specific areas of the map, you can click to refresh the map and reset it to the initial view.
Initial map view
Storage view components
The components of the storage view (initiators, ports and virtual volumes) are shown at the bottom of the left panel. Click a tab
(Initiators, Ports, or Virtual Volumes) to see a list of those objects in the view, and the operational status of each object. You
can expand volumes to show their underlying objects such as supporting device, extent, storage volume, and storage array.
You can also click an object name in the panel on the left to automatically locate and highlight the object in the map. To resize
the panel, click and drag the right edge of the panel.
Expanding or collapsing a virtual volume
Each virtual volume box in a map contains icons that allow you to instantly expand or collapse the virtual volume. When you
expand a virtual volume, the map shows the underlying supporting devices, down to the array level. When you collapse a virtual
volume, no supporting devices display for the virtual volume.
NOTE:
The GUI does not support expanding or collapsing virtual volumes with remote or distributed locality, or global
visibility. As a result, these virtual volume boxes do not show the expand/collapse icon. To view the locality or visibility of
these virtual volumes in a storage view map, place the mouse pointer anywhere in the virtual volume box to display a tool tip
that includes this information.
Expand or collapse virtual volumes in the following ways:
● A single virtual volume — Click or in a virtual volume box to expand or collapse the virtual volume. If you reset the
map with a virtual volume expanded or collapsed, the initial map view zooms in on the expanded or collapsed virtual volume.
Expanded virtual volumes are repositioned at the bottom of the virtual volumes area of the map.
● All virtual volumes — Click or in the map title bar to expand or collapse all virtual volumes in the map. This operation
may take several minutes, depending on the number of virtual volumes in the storage view. If a storage view contains more
than 50 virtual volumes, is disabled.
Viewing a map
In the object view, click the object's name, and then click the View Map in the object's properties panel.
