Main view
This view, the core component of this software, is used to manage an entire device system that can be accessed with a login account.
The icon for each category (server/storage/SAN) is displayed in the map area.
Category view
When a category (server/storage/SAN) is selected, the domains or SAN device types registered in that category are map-viewed.
When the SAN category is selected, all of the devices that can be accessed with the login account are reflected in the tree.
Domain view
This view manages the devices (hosts or storage) that are registered in each domain and their related devices.
One device is map-viewed with one icon.
Server domain is a logical unit for server node management.
Storage domain is a logical unit for storage management.
Base domain means the logical unit of the physical resource of server or storage in server domain or storage domain, which managed by this software.
SAN view
When a device type of the SAN category is selected, the devices of that device type are map-viewed.
Side view
This view is used to display only the devices and Fibre Channel switch that are physically or logically connected to a device or to manage access paths. (The access paths are managed only when a server node or storage is selected.)
To display the Side view, select and double-click a device icon in the Domain view.
Access path management
This function manages and sets access paths automatically by performing integrated management of security functions provided from the server node side, Fibre Channel switch side, and storage side.
An access path can be automatically recognized and displayed from the binding/zoning information that has already been set in a device. Because the access path is collectively managed, based on the security information for each device, even if the physical Fibre Channel cable, a SAN route that forms the access path, is disconnected, the access path can be displayed as an error.
For access paths managed by this software, the configuration definition of a device can be changed manually as well as automatically from this software. In such cases, it can check whether the manual configuration changes were performed correctly.
Correlation Window
This window is used to show devices and the Fibre Channel switch that are logically connected to each device. Unlike the Side view, the window can display logical elements of each device in detail.
ETERNUS disk storage systems: a disk, RAID group, Thin Provisioning Pool, volume, Host Affinity, port, CM, CA, DA
Fibre Channel switch: a port
Server Node: Definitions related to host for a port, HBA, multi-path instance, mirror disk instance, file system, and database
These elements are graphically displayed.
If an element has a state, the state can be displayed. Therefore, the location of a problem can be identified immediately.
In addition, clicking an element displays related elements explicitly. Therefore, affected elements can easily be identified in the event of a problem.
The Correlation window can be launched/displayed in one of the following three manners.
Click [File] - [Correlation Window] on the menu bar to display the Correlation window. Then, select a device icon in the Domain view or SAN view and drop it onto the Correlation window. The details of the device are then displayed in the Correlation window.
When the icon of a device is double-clicked in the Domain view or SAN view, its side window is displayed. In the Side view, the frame of the device that is selected in the Domain view or SAN view is displayed in black. If the device with the black frame is double-clicked, the Correlation window opens to display details of that device.
Click a device icon in the Domain view or SAN view to display a pop-up menu. When [Send] - [Correlation Window] are selected, the Correlation window opens to display details of that device.
Point
Devices subject to storage management must be registered with this software. To register a device, the IP address of the device is required. In addition, a user ID and password for management are required for the Fibre Channel switch.
