Management Tree
The Management Tree displays information relevant to the selected manager from the
Manager Pane
. At its most basic, the Management Tree displays which storage servers are
connected to the InForm Management Console. Additional icons displayed on the
Management Tree are specific to the manager selected. For example, in the figure below the
Management Tree displays icons specific to the Systems manager. The Management Tree
also has shortcut menus that contain useful commands.
Management Tree Structure
When you click an icon on the Management Tree, the associated data is displayed in the
Management Window
. For example, if you click the Ports icon, information about a
system's ports is displayed.
Each icon displayed with an expandable triangle (
) to its left is called a node. An
expandable triangle also indicates that that node can be expanded to display additional
information. The Management Tree nodes are displayed in a parent/child relationship. For
example, in the figure below the connected storage servers (s183 and S424) are displayed
as child nodes of the InServs parent node. Ports and Physical Disks are further displayed
as child nodes of the connected servers.
Also included for quick visual reference, Normal
, Degraded , or Failed status icons
are displayed in the tree to quickly identify systems or related system components that may
require attention.
