HP SAN Connection Manager User Guide 27
3 Getting Started
This chapter covers basic information to help you start using SAN Connection Manager.
Understanding the user interface
The SAN Connection Manager interface ( Figure 10 ) is designed for ease of use, quick access to the most
frequently used functions, and utilizing basic Windows conventions.
Application window
The SAN Connection Manager window consists of the following main components: a menu bar (see
“Menu bar,” page 28), a toolbar (see “Toolbar,” page 31), and a window containing two panes:
• A navigation pane (tree view) on the left side shows a graphical hierarchy of your subsystems, LUNs,
and servers. The information in the navigation pane depends on the view you select on the bottom of
the navigation pane: either Server-Storage View or Storage subsystem-Logical Disk View.
• A content pane on the right side provides graphical representations of your SAN. Depending on what
component you select in the navigation pane, the content pane contains different representations,
including the Physical Connection map, LUN Assignment map, as well as detailed information about
your subsystems, LUNs, servers, and volumes.
Figure 10 shows an example of the application window.
