Using DPM Administrator Console
This topic describes the layout of DPM Administrator Console and explains where the controls for
general tasks are located.
Task Areas and Display Panes
A task area is a set of logically related functions grouped together in DPM Administrator Console.
The console has five task areas: Monitoring, Protection, Recovery, Reporting,
and Management. Each task area, except Recovery, consists of three panes: the display pane
(unlabeled), Details pane, and Actions pane.
Note
The Recovery task area adds another pane for the browsing and searching functions.
Following are descriptions of the information that appears in each of the panes:
• Display pane. Lists items associated with the current task. For example, the display pane for
the Protection task area displays the names of protection groups and lists the members of
those groups. The display pane for some task areas is subdivided into tabs that group
subsets of functionality. For example, the display pane for the Management task area is
divided into three tabs: Agents, Disks, and Libraries.
• Details pane. Provides details, such as properties and status information, about items
selected in the display pane. For example, the Details pane for the Protection task area
displays status, recovery range, and other details about selected protection groups.
• Actions pane. Provides access to functionality associated with the current task and, in some
cases, the item selected in the display pane. For example, the Actions pane for
the Protection task area provides a command for creating protection groups. When a
specific protection group is selected in the display pane, the Actions pane also provides a
command for adding members to the group.
