• Health (for example, Healthy)
• Capacity is the volume size.
• Expandable space, if any, is the size of unallocated space on the disk that the volume can grow
without the need to first expand the LUN.
• Usage is the daily average usage; that is, the amount of space used daily from the data
collected by SAN Connection Manager when it is launched.
• Trend specifies the usage trend; that is, the number of days projected to fill up the volume’s
remaining space based on the daily average usage.
• A bar graph shows the volume usage from the data collected by SAN Connection Manager
every time is launched. SAN Connection Manager tracks only the last ten data points.
• The Expand Volume button opens a dialog box to extend the volume size. This button is
grayed-out if the currently-selected volume is not the last volume (the last partition on the LUN).
3. (Optional) If the disk is getting full, click the Expand Volume button to either select the disk’s existing
extensible space, or to first expand the LUN and then use that new space.
The Extending volume size dialog box opens (
Figure 71 ).

4. Select a value by which to expand the volume size, and the unit of measurement (GB or MB).
5. Click OK to expand the volume by the specified value. Or, click Cancel to close this dialog box without
expanding the volume.
A message box confirms successful completion of the volume expansion.
Refreshing the server list
SAN Connection Manager provides server list management with the ability to quickly refresh the server list
comprising your SAN. When you refresh the server list, the most current topology of your SAN is shown in
the Physical Connection and LUN Assignment maps.
To refresh servers:
1. On the Advanced Operations menu, click Refresh the Server List.
A message box informs you that SAN Connection Manager will delete all server and HBA data and
rebuild the list, advises you that the process may take a while, and asks if you want to continue.
2. To continue with server and HBA discovery as if launching SAN Connection Manager for the first time,
click Yes. To cancel this request, click No.
SAN Connection Manager updates the navigation pane (left pane) and the topology maps in the content
pane (right pane) to reflect the addition and removal of servers.
