Product Management
55SAN High Availability Planning Guide
The graphical representation of the product emulates the hardware configuration
and operational status of the corresponding real product. For example, if a director
or switch is fully redundant and fully populated, this configuration is reflected in
the Hardware View.
Colored symbols display on the graphical FRUs to represent failed or degraded
status. The colors and shapes are consistent with status displays on other windows
in the HAFM and Element Manager applications. The light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) also highlight to emulate real LED operation.
When the mouse pointer is moved over a FRU in the product graphic, the FRU
border highlights in blue and a pop-up identification label displays. Mouse
selections (right- or left-click) open dialog boxes or menus that display FRU
properties or allow users to perform operations and maintenance tasks.
A menu bar at the top of the Hardware View provides Product, Configure,
Logs, Maintenance, and Help options (with associated pop-up menus) that allow
users to perform Element Manager application tasks.
An Element Manager status bar at the bottom left corner of the View window
displays colored icons (green circle, yellow triangle, red and yellow diamond, or
grey square) that indicate the status of the selected managed product. Messages
display, as required, to the right of the colored icons.
