Customizing the Host Adapter Inventory widget

You can customize the Host Adapter Inventory widget to display product inventory for a specific
grouping. The group type and number of products in the group displays to the left of the associated
bar; for example, 2.3.0.005 [3], where 2.3.0.005 is the driver number and [3] is the number of
products running that driver level.

Change the grouping by selecting one of the following from the Group By list:

-

Model — Displays the Host product inventory by model.

-

Location — Displays the Host product inventory by physical location.

-

Driver — Displays the Host product inventory by driver.

-

BIOS — Displays the Host product inventory by BIOS (boot code image version).

-

OS Type — Displays the Host product inventory by operating system.

NOTE

The OS type is blank when the host has only Emulex host adapters with the Brocade
drivers not installed.

Zoom in on an area of the widget by dragging the mouse (upper left corner to lower right
corner) to select one or more bars.

NOTE

If the ratio between the longest and shortest bar reaches 5000:1, you should maximize the
widget prior to using zoom.

To return the widget to its original state, reverse the selection (drag from lower right corner to
upper left corner).
