Understanding the user interface
The Simple SAN Connection Manager interface ( Figure 14 ) has been designed for ease of use, quick
access to the most frequently used functions, and utilizing basic Windows conventions.
Application window
The Simple SAN Connection Manager window consists of the following main components: a menu bar, a
toolbar, 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: either
Server-Storage View or Storage subsystem-Logical Disk View.
• A content pane on the right side provides graphical representations of your SAN. The content pane
contains different representations depending on what you select in the navigation pane, including the
Physical Connection map, LUN Assignment map, as well as details of your subsystems, servers, HBAs,
and LUNs.
