The Subsystem Management Window (SMW) is JavaTM technology-based software that is launched from the Enterprise Management Window. The SMW provides management functions for
a single storage subsystem. You can have more than one SMW open at the same time to manage different storage subsystems. The
SMW includes these management functions for a :
Provides storage subsystem options, such as renaming a storage subsystem, changing a password, or enabling a background .
Provides the ability to configure from your storage subsystem capacity, define and , and grant host or host group access to sets of logical drives called .
Monitors the health of storage subsystem components and reports a detailed status using applicable icons.
Provides you with the applicable recovery procedures for a failed logical component or a failed hardware component.
Presents a view of the for the storage subsystem.
Presents profile information about hardware components, such as and s.
Provides controller management options, such as changing ownership of logical drives or placing a controller online or offline.
Provides disk drive management options, such as assignment of hot spares and locating the disk drive.
Monitors storage subsystem performance.
Tabs
The Subsystem Management Window has these tabs:
Summary – Shows the status of the storage subsystem. Information about the hardware components, capacity, hosts, mappings and storage
partitions, arrays and logical drives in the storage subsystem appears. Additionally, the link to the Recovery Guru dialog is shown when the storage subsystem needs attention. Links to the Storage Subsystem Profile dialog, relevant online help topics, and the storage concepts tutorial also appear in the Summary tab.
Logical/Physical – Contains the Logical pane and the Physical pane. The Logical pane shows a tree-structured view of the logical components
in the storage subsystem, such as and . When you select a logical component in the Logical pane, the Physical pane shows a view of the associated hardware components
and their status.
Mappings – Contains the Topology pane and the Defined Mappings pane. In the Topology pane, you can define the , , and . The Topology pane shows a tree structured view of the logical nodes related to storage partitions in the storage subsystem.
The Defined Mappings pane shows the mapping that is associated with a selected logical node in the Topology pane. You can
also change the to grant logical drive access to host groups and hosts and create storage partitions.
Setup – Contains links to tasks that you can perform when setting up a storage subsystem such as configuring the storage subsystem,
setting the storage subsystem password, and other tasks. Additionally, the links to configure the Ethernet management ports
in the storage subsystem, view and enable the premium features, and configure the iSCSI settings are shown in the Setup tab. You can click a link to open the corresponding dialog.
Support – Contains links to tasks, such as recovering from storage subsystem failure; gathering support information, such as the
Event Log and a description of a storage subsystem; and sending the information to a representative. The Support tab also contains the link to download the controller firmware, the NVSRAM, the disk drive firmware, the ESM firmware, and
the ESM configuration settings. Additionally, the Support tab has links to view the description of all components and properties of a storage subsystem, the Event Log of a storage
subsystem, online help, and the version and copyright information of the storage management software. You can click a link
to open the corresponding dialog.
