Changing the Main Window Appearance
You can choose to remove the tool bar and status bar from the main Adaptec
Storage Manager window to save space on-screen. You can also choose to turn off
the Tool Tips that automatically appear when you place your cursor over on-screen
items.
You can choose which branches of the Enterprise View appear or don’t appear. You
might want to do this if you are focusing on one branch in particular, or if your
network no longer includes a particular type of storage.
To change the appearance of the main window, use the
View
menu options; these
options are toggle switches, which means that they can be selected and deselected
by clicking on them.
Creating and Working with Display Groups
You can organize related Management Services into display groups to make
managing your IP SAN easier and more effective.
Management Services (and their associated iSCSI Storage Appliances and iSCSI
Storage Hosts) in a display group appear together in the Enterprise View under the
group name. A Management Service can belong to only one display group at a time;
you can’t include the same Management Service in multiple display groups.
Display groups are sorted alphabetically and appear in the Enterprise View below
any Management Services that are not part of a display group.
To create a display group:
1
In the Enterprise View, right-click on a Management Service that you want to
add to a display group.
2
In the
Actions
menu, select
Change display group
, then click
New group
