Configuring systems to add to management groups
Systems, including Failover Managers, that have not been added to management groups appear
in the Available Systems. These systems are available to be added to management groups.
Other information in the navigation window depicts the storage architecture you create on your
system. An example setup is shown in Figure 1 (page 12).
Using the Map View
The Map View tab is available for viewing the relationships between management groups, servers,
sites, clusters, volumes and snapshots. When you log in to a management group, there is a Map
View tab for each of those elements in the management group. For example, when you want to
make changes such as moving a volume to a different cluster, or deleting shared snapshots, the
Map View allows you to easily identify how many snapshots and volumes are affected by such
changes.
The Map View pane contains display tools to control and manipulate the view. The display tools
are available from the Map View Tasks menu or from the tool bar across the top of the pane. The
tools function the same from either the tool bar or the Map View tasks menu.
Using the display tools
Use these tools, described in Table 1 (page 14), to select specific areas of the map to view, zoom
in on, rotate, and move around the window. If you have a complex configuration, use the Map
View tools to easily view and monitor the configuration.
