About the Topology Tab
The Topology tab provides a graphical representation of your storage network.
• Left pane - Provides a path view of the Sybase database. When you select an element in the
left pane, its location is shown in the right pane.
• Right pane - Provides a logical diagram of the storage network. From the Topology tab, you
can determine the location of a device on the network. For example, you could use the
Topology tab to find which database file corresponds to a database.
From the Topology tab, you can obtain information about the items in the topology by
double-clicking its icon in the topology.
