If the first line of Logical pane (Storage Subsystem) is selected, the link opens a window with
Subsystem Storage profile. As usual, you can get required information also from different
menus, tabs or icons in DS Storage Manager.
Your possibilities to configure the storage subsystem depend on the object selected in the left
Logical pane. All configuration options are shown as a menu, when you right click on a
particular object.
We have splited this chapter to four basic sections, to explain all configuration options:
9.2, "Working with Unconfigured Capacity" on page 228
9.3, "Working with Arrays" on page 231
9.4, "Working with Free Capacity" on page 238
9.5, "Working with Logical Drive" on page 244
The first line in the Logical pane (the root of the logical directory tree) is Storage Subsystem
(already selected in Figure 9-1 on page 226). The name of subsystem and basic status
(green - Optimal, or red - Needs Attention) of this managed subsystem is shown there. In the
right Properties pane you can see overall information about the whole DS3500 Storage
Subsystem.
Right click on the Storage Subsystem in the left pane and full list of possible configurations
opens in menu (see Figure 9-2). The first menu item is Copy Manager. Click on it and a new
window opens, with the list of VolumeCopy pairs. You can find all details about VolumeCopy,
Copy Manger, and more copy services information in IBM Midrange System Storage Copy
Services Guide, SG24-7822. All other menu items are the same, as when you use Storage
Subsystem menu in pull down menu bar of DS Storage Manger. This menu is deeply
described in 8.2.1, "Storage Subsystem Menu" on page 195.
