Searching storage resources
This module describes using search to locate, work with, and report on storage resources.
About searching storage resources
Search is useful for:
• Investigating and working with storage resources - for example, you can quickly find a host and
allocate a volume to the host. Note that when you click on a search results link, you will automat-
ically go to the resource in the Resources tab so you can work with the resource, or you will get
more detail on the item, as with volumes.
• Reporting on storage resources - for reporting, search results and related detail can be saved as
CSV files using the Export to CSV button, or from the Actions menu. Note that CSV (comma sep-
arated values) files can be opened by many spreadsheet applications for review or editing.
Search methods include:
• Keyword search - a search on user entered text. You can enter a full or partial text string and
search specific fields related to storage resources, such as:
• Storage Systems - search names, IP addresses, and serial numbers
• Hosts - search names, IP addresses, and WWNs
• Volumes - search volume IDs that match the keyword, or volume labels
• Parity Groups - search parity group names
• THP/Smart Pools - search IDs that match the keyword, and names
• Logical Groups - search names or descriptions
• Criteria search - a search on attribute information, for example a volume search where the volume
belongs to a RAID 5 parity group.
• Criteria searches can be saved by the user, and optionally, shared with others
• Note that saving searches requires a Tiered Storage Manager license
Keyword search
To perform a keyword search, locate the Search box on the upper right side of the GUI. The search
box is always visible.
1. Enter a full or partial text string in the Search box. A partial string will generally produce more
search results.
