96 Implementing an Open IBM SAN
2.2 Starting the Open Systems Storage Configuration
In the topics that follow, we will guide users through the storage and Fibre
Channel environment related parts as we progress through and build the
configuration. The tasks performed here will affect the way the ESS presents
itself in our SAN and to the SAN attached Fibre Channel hosts.
2.2.1 Viewing the storage configuration status
The panels described here will always show the status of the configuration of the
ESS. There are two panels, one that illustrates the configuration graphically, and
one that shows it in an tabular view.
Using the Storage Allocation — Graphical View panel
Using the Storage Allocation button we get the Storage Allocation — Graphical
View panel, as shown in Figure 2-21.
