Menu Option Description
Go to Navigation
Details
This menu option redirects you to the Navigation page. If the element is
labeled “Discovered,” you are shown the Properties page. Elements are
labeled “Discovered” when the management server has discovered the
element, but it cannot obtain additional information about it. See ”About the
Navigation Tab” on page 301.
Go to Element
Topology
Displays a graphical representation of the path of an element. This also
includes multipathing. See ”Viewing Element Topology” on page 309.
Show Events Displays the events for an element. See ”About the Events Tab” on page 320.
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
page 324 for more information.
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/Get Details for the deleted LUNs to
be removed from the user interface. See ”Step 4 - Discovery Data Collection
or Get Details” on page 90.
Show Impact Highlights the elements that are impacted. See ”Showing the Impact of an
Element” on page 276.
Show Port
Details
Lets you determine the use of each port for all elements in the network. See
”Viewing Ports” on page 275 for more information.
