Management Tree

The Management Tree displays information relevant to the selected manager from the

“Manager

Pane” (page 494)

. At its most basic, the Management Tree displays which storage servers are

connected to the HP 3PAR 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” (page 502)

. 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 the 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 (s324 and s381) are displayed as child nodes of the HP
3PAR StoreServ Storage’s 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.
