Selecting Multiple Items

The HP 3PAR Management Console supports the standard Shift+click functionality to select a
contiguous block of items, and the standard Ctrl+click functionality to select several non-contiguous
items. These functions can be used in most of the managers listed in the

“Manager Pane” (page 496)

to facilitate actions.
For example, when creating a virtual volume set, you can use specific virtual volumes to form the
set by either using the Shift+click or Ctrl+click function to select a group of virtual volumes.

NOTE:

If you try to select more than the maximum number of allowed objects, an error message

appears. To increase the number allowed, select View > Preferences > Advanced Tab, then in the
Maximum selected objects allowed box under Layout Grid, enter a new number. You may clear
the Enabled checkbox so that no selection limit is enforced, however doing so may affect system
memory and performance if a large number of objects is selected.

Understanding Icons

The HP 3PAR Management Console uses icons for quick visual reference of alerts, system status,
and system components and objects status. For more information see the following sections:

“Alert Severity Indicators” (page 507)
“Status Bar Icons” (page 507)
“System and Component Status Icons” (page 508)

Alert Severity Indicators

The alert pane and status bar use the following icons to indicate alert severity levels. On the status
bar, the alert severity indicator tells you the severity level of the most serious alert for all systems
currently connected to the HP 3PAR Management Console.
