pane provides a view of the logical components in the storage subsystem in a tree
structure. The Properties pane displays detailed information about the component that is
selected in the Logical pane.
Physical tab in Chapter 10, "Administration - Physical Tab" on page 263.
Shows the organization of the storage subsystem by controllers, drives, and other
hardware components. This tab is divided into two panes: the Physical pane on the left
and the Properties pane on the right. The Physical pane shows a graphical representation
of the physical components in the storage subsystem, such as the controller modules and
the drive expansion enclosures. The Properties pane displays detailed information about
the component that is selected in the Physical pane.
Mappings tab in Chapter 11, "Administration - Mappings Tab" on page 281.
Contains the Topology pane and the Defined Mappings pane. In the Topology pane, you
can define the hosts, host groups, and host ports. The Topology pane shows a tree
structured view of the logical nodes related to storage partitions in the storage subsystem.
The Defined Mappings pane shows the mapping that is associated with a selected logical
node in the Topology pane. You can also change the mappings to grant logical drive
access to host groups and hosts and create storage partitions.
Setup tab in Chapter 12, "Administration - Setup tab" on page 305.
Contains links to tasks that you can perform when setting up a storage subsystem such as
configuring the storage subsystem, setting the storage subsystem password, and other
tasks. Additionally, the links to configure the Ethernet management ports in the storage
subsystem, view and enable the premium features, and configure the iSCSI settings are
shown in the Setup tab. You can click a link to open the corresponding dialog.
Support tab in Chapter 14, "Administration - Support" on page 337.
Contains links to tasks, such as recovering from storage subsystem failure; gathering
support information, such as the Event Log and a description of a storage subsystem; and
sending the information to your IBM Customer Support representative. The Support tab
also contains the link to download the controller firmware, the NVSRAM, the drive
firmware, the ESM firmware, and the ESM configuration settings. Additionally, the Support
tab has links to view the description of all components and properties of a storage
subsystem, the Event Log of a storage subsystem, online help, and the version and
copyright information of the storage management software. You can click a link to open the
corresponding dialog.
