6.1 Understanding the System Administration View
The System Administration View varies depending on whether your xStack Storage system is
capable of supporting single or redundant controllers. Dual-controller configurations are
only available when an additional controller is installed in the system, and only the DSN-
5000 Series can support dual-contollers.
6.1.1 Single-Controller Systems
The Main Display for xStack Storage systems with a single controller displays icons that show
the following information:
Total amount of storage and the amount of storage available
Number of volumes that have been configured
Number of initiators defined and the number of initiators currently connected
Below the Main Display are four Detail Tabs that show the history, controller information,
scheduled tasks, and system administration settings. Refer to Section 6.2 for a description of
the Details Tabs. The System Administration View only displays a
System Actions panel.
