Enterprise Management Window
The EMW provides high-level management of storage arrays. When you start the MD Storage Manager,
the EMW is displayed. The EMW has the:
• Devices tab — Provides information about discovered storage arrays.
• Setup tab — Presents the initial setup tasks that guide you through adding storage arrays and
configuring alerts.
The Devices tab has a Tree view on the left side of the window that shows discovered storage arrays,
unidentified storage arrays, and the status conditions for the storage arrays. Discovered storage arrays are
managed by the MD Storage Manager. Unidentified storage arrays are available to the MD Storage
Manager but not configured for management. The right side of the Devices tab has a Table view that
shows detailed information for the selected storage array.
In the EMW, you can:
• Discover hosts and managed storage arrays on the local sub-network.
• Manually add and remove hosts and storage arrays.
• Blink or locate the storage arrays.
• Name or rename discovered storage arrays.
• Add comments for a storage array in the Table view.
• Schedule or automatically save a copy of the support data when the client monitor process detects an
event.
• Store your EMW view preferences and configuration data in local configuration files. The next time
you open the EMW, data from the local configuration files is used to show customized view and
preferences.
• Monitor the status of managed storage arrays and indicate status using appropriate icons.
• Add or remove management connections.
• Configure alert notifications for all selected storage arrays through e-mail or SNMP traps.
