Viewing Objects and Object Properties
VxVM provides the following views of objects and their properties:
• “Tree and Grid View” on page 18

systems, and other objects on the system. The grid also displays a limited
set of properties for listed objects.
• “Disk View Window” on page 19
The Disk View window displays a graphical view of disks, volumes, and
other objects in a particular disk group.
• “Volume View Window” on page 25
The Volume Layout Details window displays a close-up graphical view of
a single volume and its components (mirrors/plexes and subdisks).
• “Volume to Disk Mapping Window” on page 28
The Volume to Disk Mapping window shows the relationships between
volumes and their underlying disks.
• “Object Properties Window” on page 30
The object Properties window contains detailed information about a
specific object.
Tree and Grid View
The main window tree and grid view displays volumes, disks, file
systems, and other objects on the system. The object tree is a
hierarchical display of object groups. The grid is a tabular display of
objects and a limited set of properties. VxVM constantly monitors objects
on the system and makes appropriate changes to the tree and grid
displays.
Disk Usage Legend
The disk usage legend is displayed at the bottom of the right pane; and
shows how to interpret the colors with respect to Disk Usage (Normal
Usage, High Usage, and Critical Usage).
