Update Element Data
The management server gathers new and changed details from
the element and then redraws the topology with the updated
information.
Important
:
•
Do not update element data during Get Topology or
Discovery Data Collection/Get Details. You can determine if
the management server is getting the topology or all element
details by looking at the label near the status button.
•
The Update Element Data functionality does not detect element
components that have been removed, such as ports and LUNs.
For example, assume you removed several LUNs from an
array. If you right-click the storage system and select Update
Element Data
, the LUNs still appear in the user interface. You
must perform Discovery Data Collection/Get Details for the
deleted LUNs to be removed from the user interface. See
Step 4 - Discovery Data Collection or Get Details
External Tools
Provides several ways to access an element:
•
Telnet
- Lets you access a host or a switch through the telnet
utility. The Telnet feature is only accessible to Web browsers
on Microsoft Windows operating systems.
•
Browse
- Lets you access the main Web page for a host or a
switch.
•
Set Up External Tools
- Lets you add URLs for accessing the
management tools for the storage system. In some instances,
the management tool for the storage system is accessible from
this menu. For example, HiCommand for HDS storage systems
and Command View for HP XP storage systems are accessible
from the External Tools menu.
Add Virtual Application
Lets you add a virtual application so you can monitor it. A virtual
application is a placeholder you create for an application. For
example, you could create a virtual application for an application
that was created just for your company. See ”
