For a P9000 disk array, Front-end comprises of the frontend
components, such as the ports and the associated CHAs. For
more information, see “Front-end navigation path” (page 238).
Comprises of individual CLPRs. For more information, see “Cache
navigation path” (page 240).
Cache
Comprises of individual MP blades and the associated processors.
For more information, see “MP Blades navigation path” (page 242).
MP Blades
NOTE: The MP Blades category is applicable only for the P9000
disk arrays.
For an XP disk array, Back-end comprises of the backend
components, such as the DKA pairs, associated MPs, and the
Back-end
RAID groups. The RAID groups further comprises of the associated
physical LDEVs and the pool LDEVs (LDEVs assigned to a ThP or
a snapshot pool). For more information, see “Back-end navigation
path” (page 243).
For a P9000 disk array, Back-end comprises of the backend
components, such as the DKA pairs and the associated RAID
groups. The RAID groups further comprises of the associated
physical LDEVs and the pool LDEVs (LDEVs assigned to a ThP or
snapshot pool). For more information, see “Back-end navigation
path” (page 243).
Comprises of the individual snapshot pool IDs, the associated
RAID groups, and VVols (PVOLs and SVOLs). The RAID groups
Snapshot Pool
further display the list of associated physical LDEVs. The snapshot
pools are displayed for the P9000 disk arrays, such as the P9500.
The snapshot pools are also displayed only for the XP24000,
XP20000, XP12000, XP10000, and the SVS200 Disk Arrays.
For more information, see “Snapshot Pool navigation path”
(page 251).
Comprises of Smart pools and ThP pools.Pools
The ThP pools display the associated RAID groups and VVols.
The RAID groups further display the associated physical LDEVs.
The ThP pools are displayed only for the P9500 and XP24000
Disk Arrays. For more information, see “Pools navigation path”
(page 247).
The Smart pools display the associated RAID groups, VVols, and
