HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 Administration Guide

Administering SNAplus2

Using the Motif Administration Program

Resource Items

The layout of the resources in a window shows the relationships among them.

If an item has one or more child items associated with it, an

Expand button or

Contract

button appears next to it.

Expand

button indicates that the associated child items are hidden. You can click on the

Expand

button to show

them. A

Contract

button indicates that the child items are shown. You can click on the

Contract button to hide

them. If an item has neither button next to it, the item has no associated child resources.

For example, a link station is associated with a particular port. In the Connectivity pane of the Node window, the

link station is displayed below its parent port, along with all other link stations associated with that port. The port

is always displayed, but you can choose whether the list of associated link stations is shown or hidden. Similarly,

link stations with a list of associated LUs can be expanded to show the LUs, or contracted to hide them.

A parent resource must always be conﬁgured before its child resources, and deleting the parent resource causes all

its child resources to be deleted.

Tool Bar Buttons

Resource windows include tool bar buttons to make it easy to perform common functions. A tool bar for SNAplus2

is shown in Figure 3–3,

SNAplus2 Tool Bar.

Not all buttons appear in the tool bars of each resource window. If a button’s operation is not valid for the currently

selected item (or an operation requires an item to be selected, but none is), the outline of the button is displayed

in gray, and the function cannot be selected (the button cannot be pressed). The following buttons can appear on

resource windows:

Starts the selected item.

Stops the selected item.

Adds a new resource item. (In the Node window, you add a resource into the selected pane.)

Deletes the selected resources.

Opens the dialog for the selected item to view or modify the item’s conﬁguration.
