User`s guide

The Navigation tree lets you navigate across the following product views:

 Disk management (p. 23)

 Tasks (p. 27)

 Log (p. 29)

The Shortcuts bar appears under the navigation tree. It offers you an easy and convenient way of

connection to the machines in demand by adding them as shortcuts.

To add a shortcut to a machine

1. Connect the console to a managed machine.

2. In the navigation tree, right-click the machine's name (a root element of the navigation tree), and

then select Create shortcut.

If the console and agent are installed on the same machine, the shortcut to this machine will be

added to the shortcuts bar automatically as Local machine [Machine name].

Click it once again to sort the volumes in descending order.

If required, you can hide the shown columns and show the hidden ones. To do this, right-click any
