Searching for resources
You can search for a particular physical LDEV in the Resource selection tree under Charts, if you are
aware of the CU:LDEV name. The search automatically expands the RAID Group list, to which the
physical LDEV belongs; the LDEV resource is also highlighted for your reference. For example, if you
want to plot a chart for a particular physical LDEV that belongs to list of LDEVs spread across RAID
groups, it is difficult to navigate through the RAID Group lists and search for that particular LDEV
(especially if there are large number of LDEV records). In such cases, you can provide the CU:LDEV
name and directly view the RAID Group to which the physical LDEV belongs. To search for a physical
LDEV record:
IMPORTANT:
• The search results are specific to an XP array. You cannot search for physical LDEVs that are
spread across multiple XP arrays.
• Search cannot be used to find physical LDEVs that belong to a custom group.
• Search cannot be used to find LDEVs that are configured as VVols, or those belonging to LUSE,
ThP, Snapshot, BC, Cont. Access, and Ext RAID Groups.
• Search does not support multiple entries. You can search for only one physical LDEV resource.
To search for a physical LDEV record:
1. Select the XP array for which you want to search the corresponding LDEV.
2. In the Physical LDEV text box, enter the name of the LDEV that you want to search in the CU:LDEV
format and click the Search icon.
The Resource selection tree for the XP array that has the matching LDEV resource automatically
expands to display the LDEV highlighted for your reference. (If the resource list for the selected
XP array is huge, you may have to use the scroll bar to navigate through the list of resources to
view the matching resource).
In the above figure, the search for physical LDEV 1:00 shows that it belongs to the Physical LDEVs
associated with RAID Group 1–2.
