Displaying details (detail information) of may make the Correlation window seem complicated because the number of elements becomes very large. For this reason, this software supports the element integration function that provides a clearer Correlation window. The elements integration function integrates and displays elements that can be integrated. The elements which can be integrated are as follows:
For the server node
Raw Device (Disk), MultiPath Driver (Disk), Mirror Driver (Volume), File System (Space), DBMS (Database), DBMS (File), DBMS (File Attribute)
For storage
LUN, Logical Volume, Disk
Element integration icons are bigger than other icons. To distinguish element integration icons from other icons, a positive sign (+) is added to the upper left of element integration icons.
The integrated elements can be displayed as the following table (table element) when selecting [Table Element] - [ON] from the pop-up menu while selecting the element integration icon or double clicking the element integration icon.
By integrating elements, more easily viewable screen can be displayed. However, this setting is not saved. The element integration icon is displayed when the Correlation window is reactivated.
To return the table element, to the element integration icon, select [Table Element] - [OFF] from pop-up menu while selecting the table element.
Select the element integration icon which wants to be displayed and select [Property] from pop-up menu to display detailed information on each element. For information about each property, see "B.9 Correlation Window Properties". The following example is properties of DBMS Files (Oracle).
To correlate the element in the element integration icon with the application, first, execute the operation to display the element integration icon as the table element. Next, select the elements (element table) that first make are to be correlated as follows and select [Creation] - [Create application] from pop-up menu. It is also possible to select two or more tables as shown in figure below.
To display the correlation between the application and the table element is, click the application whose correlation is to be displayed and click the Route Search Execution icon from the toolbar, and the correlating table is displayed in the color. For information about route search, see "6.2.5 Route search".
To search the route of the element in the element integration icon, first, execute the operation to display the element integration icon as the table element. Next, click the [Route Search Execution] icon from the toolbar. Then, when selecting the element which wants to be displayed from the table, the correlated elements are displayed in the color.
When searching the route, the color of the correlated table, which is in the table element, is changed when the element integration icon is displayed as the table element. Which element correlates can be easily recognized.
When large-scale configuration storage such as ETERNUS8000, ETERNUS6000 or ETERNUS4000 is displayed on the Correlation window, the Correlation window can look complicated though it depends on the model and the configuration. For that reason RAID Group Integration function is supported as a function to make the screen look simple. By using this function, the number of the displayed element can be decreased and the display time for the Correlation window can be shortened. If the large-scale configuration storage exists in the system, it is suggested that RAID Group integration mode should be switched on.
See
For setting of RAID Group integration mode, see "C.11 RAID Group Integration Mode Definition File".
The following figures show the Correlation windows in case that RAID Group integration mode is OFF and ON.
