◆ 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 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.
The Menu Bar
The menu bar at the top of the main window contains the following menus:
◆ File
The File menu establishes new host connections, closes the main window, provides
access to an object Properties window, or exits VEA.
◆ Tools
The Tools menu saves or loads user preferences, removes any alert icons from the
status area, and sets VxVM VEA to read-only mode.
◆ Actions
The Actions menu is a context-sensitive menu that launches tasks on a selected
object. It is inactive until you connect to a host. The Actions menu is dynamic and
changes its options based on the type of object that is selected. When an object is
selected, the Actions menu provides access to tasks appropriate for the selected
object.
◆ Help
