Mapping Volumes to Disks
You can map a plex to the associated disk by bringing up both the
Volume View and the Disk View. When you click on the plex in the
Volume View, the corresponding disk in the Disk View is highlighted.
Object Properties Window
The Object Properties window contains detailed information about the
selected object. The Properties window contains a set of tabbed pages,
each of which contains information about the object and related objects.
The tab labels and page contents vary, depending on the type of object
selected. You can display a different page by clicking on the appropriate
tab label. Some object properties can be changed through the Properties
window for the object. For instructions on navigating the Object
Properties window, see “Navigating the Object Properties Window” on
page 31.
