22 EMC Ionix ControlCenter 6.1: Taking Control of Your Datacenter
Reporting on Your Datacenter
Tracking which assets belong to a department (Operations
Manager)
This example demonstrates how an Operations Manager uses the Console tree and
Topology view to identify the assets of a department, in this case Manufacturing. The
task involves viewing the user-defined group in the Console tree, opening the
Topology view, and then adding the user-defined group to the view. In this example, a
group for the manufacturing department has already been created and populated
with the objects for that group.
User-defined groups (UDGs) are created in the Ionix ControlCenter Console tree. A
folder named “Manufacturing” was created and then the objects owned by that group
were copied or dragged and dropped into the folder. Refer to the Ionix ControlCenter
online help in the Console on how to create UDG’s, and how to add and remove
objects from UDG’s.
Exploring the Manufacturing group
To complete this task, the Operations Manager:
1. Logs in to the Console.
2. In the Console tree, expands the folders Management > Manufacturing.
3. Expands the subfolders to see the assets that belong to Manufacturing Figure 9.
