• Health (for example, Healthy)
• Capacity is the volume size.
• Expandable space, if any, is the size of unallocated space on the disk that the volume can grow

without the need to first expand the LUN.

• Usage is the daily average usage; that is, the amount of space used daily from the data

collected by SAN Connection Manager when it is launched.

• Trend specifies the usage trend; that is, the number of days projected to fill up the volume’s

remaining space based on the daily average usage.

• A bar graph shows the volume usage from the data collected by SAN Connection Manager

every time is launched. SAN Connection Manager tracks only the last ten data points.

• The Expand Volume button opens a dialog box to extend the volume size. This button is

grayed-out if the currently-selected volume is not the last volume (the last partition on the LUN).

(Optional) If the disk is getting full, click the Expand Volume button to either select the disk’s existing

extensible space, or to first expand the LUN and then use that new space.

Refreshing the server list

SAN Connection Manager provides server list management with the ability to quickly refresh the server list

comprising your SAN. When you refresh the server list, the most current topology of your SAN is shown in

the Physical Connection and LUN Assignment maps.
To refresh servers:

1.

On the Advanced Operations menu, click Refresh the Server List.
A message box informs you that SAN Connection Manager will delete all server and HBA data and

rebuild the list, advises you that the process may take a while, and asks if you want to continue.

2.

To continue with server and HBA discovery as if launching SAN Connection Manager for the first time,

click Yes. To cancel this request, click No.

SAN Connection Manager updates the navigation pane (left pane) and the topology maps in the content

pane (right pane) to reflect the addition and removal of servers.
