Show Policies Displays the Policy tab for the element. You can then view, add, modify, and
delete polices assigned to the element. See ”About the Policies Tab” on

Update Element
Data
The management server gathers new and changed details from the element
and then redraws the topology with the updated information.
The Update Element Data functionality does not detect element components
that have been removed, such as ports and LUNs. For example, assume you
removed several LUNs from an array. If you right-click the storage system and
select Update Element Data, the LUNs still appear in the user interface. You
must perform Discovery Data Collection for the deleted LUNs to be removed
from the user interface. See ”Discovery Data Collection” on page 67.
