5.6 Operation

This chapter describes the GDS operations from GDS Management View.

From GDS Management View, you can configure, operate, reconfigure, delete, view the configuration of, and monitor the status of GDS objects (SDX objects). If GDS Snapshot is installed, you can also operate proxy objects and view their configurations and statuses. For shadow objects, configuration viewing and status monitoring only are possible.

GDS Management View supports the following operations.

Use commands for operations that are unsupported in GDS Management View.
