Storage Window Display

HP recommends that you use a minimum of SVGA (800x600) display resolution.
The Storage window requires a minimum amount of screen space to properly
display its contents. When you use VGA display resolution, screen space becomes
more limited.

If you must use VGA resolution, consider the following suggestions:

You may not be able to see the scroll bars on the bottom of the display. You
can use the Storage window's menu settings to remove the toolbar from the
display to make room for the bottom scroll bars.

If you are using the Client with a 24-device, high-availability enclosure, it
may be easier to configure the subsystem if you set the system type to Generic
for configuration purposes. Return the setting to High-Availability 24-Device
Pedestal for monitoring and viewing.
