Elements of the User Interface
The figure below shows the ServerView RAID Manager main window with the typical controls.

Note:
Depending on the operating system, browser, monitor, color scheme, and language
used there may be differences between this figure and the display on your screen.
 |
Possible actions are displayed to you when you right-click on an object in the tree structure. |
- Below the 1st menu line you will find the 2nd menu line. You can use the
two arrows to go one step forward or back. The button next to the two arrows
enables you to change the write or read access to the objects.
 |
The first user automatically has read/write authorization. Every
subsequent user only has read authorization, but – provided they have
appropriate administration rights – can obtain write authorization. The
user who had write authorization up to this point is then informed of this. |
-
Beneath the two menu lines the window is divided into two halves. In the
left-hand half all the objects of a system are displayed in a tree structure.
In the right-hand half information on the objects selected in the tree
structure are displayed in an object window.
The object window on the right contains (depending on the object selected) one
or more tabs:
- General
Contains general data on an object (IP address, operating system, etc.) which
you cannot change.
- Settings
Contains object settings which you can change. When you click on the Edit
button a dialog box opens in which you can make the changes.
- Layout
Contains an overview with information on the structure of an object.
- Background activities
Contains activities that are currently running on an object such as a Patrol
Read on an adapter.
- At the bottom edge of the user interface you will find an event window. This displays
the latest events of all the RAID controllers which are managed by ServerView RAID manager.
The delimiter bar enables you to enlarge or reduce this window. A double click on an event
opens a dialog, with which it is easy to navigate
through the events and to catch the whole detailed message at a glance.
