Chapter 2. IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server configuration 97
In this panel, we get the logical view and the status of the installed and
configured storage related components of the ESS. These are the parts of the
ESS that need to be configured for ESS logical volumes to be accessible from
host FC ports.
The panel is interactive, which means, as we select different entities on this
panel, the panel will reflect the configuration of the ESS according to the selected
entity. Those can be the host interface icons, the ESS interface icons, the SSA
device adapter icons and the disk group rectangles. Also, the View All Storage
button allows us to see the status of all configured disk groups at once
To start with our ESS is unconfigured, and in the screen shots that follow we will
show how the panel will change.
Using the host interfaces row
The top row, shown in Figure 2-22, presents symbols for the host interfaces, that
have access to the ESS.
Figure 2-22 Host interfaces row, without any configured host interface
In the case of hosts with Fibre Channel connectivity, there will be an icon like the
one shown in Figure 2-23, for each host FC port that is defined in the ESS with
its World Wide Port Name (WWPN). The same applies to defined SCSI attached
hosts.
Figure 2-23 Open systems host port icon
There is no host FC port configured at this time, therefore, in Figure 2-22, there is
no icon shown. For ESCON attachment, if installed, there is a placeholder icon
for all connections. The host interface icons can be selected, which will change
the view of the panel to represent the configuration according to the selected
host interface.
