same type. Each object group has a group icon and a group name.
The following object groups typically appear as nodes in the object
tree:
— Hosts – Any host machines connected to the current Storage
Administrator client session.
— Controllers – All controllers on the system.
— Disk Groups – All disk groups on the system.
— Disks – All disks on the system.
— Enclosures – All enclosures (disk arrays) on the system.
— File Systems – All mounted file systems on the system.
— Free Disk Pool – Any disks that are under Volume Manager
control, but do not belong to a disk group.
— Uninitialized Disks – Any disks that are not under Volume
Manager control.
— Volumes – All volumes on the system.
— Clusters (optional) – Sets of hosts that share sets of disks.
Clusters are only visible in a cluster environment with the
optional Volume Manager cluster functionality.
You can expand nodes (by clicking on the plus sign) to reveal the
hierarchy under each node. When you select a group icon (or node)
in the object tree, objects of that type appear in the right pane.
• Right Pane (Grid)
The right pane contains a grid , which is a tabular display of objects
and their properties. The grid displays objects that belong to the
group icon that is currently selected in the object tree (left pane). The
grid is dynamic and constantly updates its contents to reflect changes
to objects.
You can sort the contents of a property column in the grid by clicking
on the column heading. You can reverse the sort order by clicking on
the column heading again.
The splitter is the vertical bar that separates the object tree from the
grid. You can resize the left and right panes by pressing and holding the
mouse button over the splitter and dragging the splitter to the left or
right.
