The Lower pane
The lower pane of the Virtual Volumes tab displays information about the selected volume in the
upper pane. The lower pane provides three buttons, Details, Paths, and Alerts.
•
Details (default when viewing the Virtual Volumes tab) displays details about the selected
volume in the upper pane (
Figure 31 (page 53) ). In addition, all the storage systems and their
paths are also displayed. When Peer Persistence is enabled, the Virtual Volumes Details pane
label changes to Virtual Volume Details for Active StoreServ. Depending on the system
configuration, the pane provides a status of Peer Persistence setup between an active and
standby storage system. In the event of an active system failing, the host traffic directing to
the failed or active storage system is redirected to the standby storage system without any
disruption to the hosts using SCSI path management configurations.

Refreshing Virtual Volume information
A Refresh button is provided to update virtual volume information displayed in the HP 3PAR
Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere interface. The Refresh
button provides two options, Reload Current Page and Update Recovery Manager Cache.
•
Select Reload Current Page if you have logged into an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system
and the pages do not show volume details.
•
Select Update Recovery Manager Cache if you have logged into an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage
system and the vCenter Server inventory has changed; such as newly added Virtual Machines
or Datastores, changed HBA path policies, or added ESXi hosts.
