4 Working with VSM servers
A VSM server performs both management and data moving tasks.
You can:
• View the VSM server list per domain (view the VSM server that comprise the local domain and
each of the domains exposed to the local domain)
• View VSM server information (view information about each VSM server)
• Delete VSM servers (delete physically absent VSM servers that will not be reconnected)
Viewing the VSM server list per domain
You can view a list of the VSM servers that comprise each domain.
To view the VSM servers that comprise a domain:
1. In the navigation tree, expand the SVSP Domains node.
