The Side view is displayed by double-clicking a device in the tree or a device icon in a view. This view displays the devices (with Fibre Channel switches and access paths) related to the selected device.
The Side view displayed when a server node, a Fibre Channel switch, storage, a bridge, a hub or a router is selected is called the Server Node view, Switch view, Storage view, Bridge view, Hub view or Router view, respectively.
In the Server Node view, Storage view and Bridge view, access paths can be displayed, set, and deleted. Note that, in the Switch view, Hub view and Router view no operation can be performed for access paths.
The Side view displays not only shows an access path for FcHba-FcCa but also shows other access paths such as FcHba-FcHba and FcCa-FcCa. The Side view displays only devices (Fibre Channel switches, hubs, and routers) related to the selected device.
Note
In the virtual storage environment, this view does not display devices related logically to respective devices.
Icons
The icon color indicates the resource status.
Color | Status |
|---|---|
Green | Operation is normal. |
Yellow | A warning was issued. |
Red | A system error occurred. |
Gray | No response was received (because the LAN failed, device is off, etc.). |
Violet | The device is not registered. |
If the Fujitsu multipath disk control mechanism or msdsm (the multi path driver that is built into Windows operating system since Windows Server 2008 by the standard) is installed on a server node and a device file is defined, such information is displayed together with icons.
An example of the information displayed is shown below:
Server node OS | Product name of multipath disk control mechanism (version and operation mode) | Example of information display |
|---|---|---|
Solaris OS | Fujitsu Multipath Driver (when setting special file of Solaris OS standard) | c2t17d0-7 |
ETERNUS Multipath Driver (when setting mplb special file) GPMPD (1.x), MPLB | mplb0-7 | |
MPHD | mphd0-7 | |
Windows | ETERNUS Multipath Driver, GRMPD, MPHD, | Disk0-2 |
Linux(RHEL) | ETERNUS Multipath Driver, GRMPD | /dev/sda-c |
Screen operations
When a resource in a route related to an access path is selected, the associated portions are displayed in light blue.
Selection of an access path -> route physical line (However, no intermediate route is displayed if Fibre Channel switches are cascaded.)
Selection of an HBA -> target storage area (for ETERNUS8000 series, ETERNUS6000 series, ETERNUS4000 series, ETERNUS3000 series, ETERNUS2000, GR series)
Selection of the name of a multipath disk control device file on a server node -> associated logical path and associated storage area (In the Linux server node equipped with PG-FCD101/PG-FCD102, the associated logical path and the associated storage area can not be displayed.
