5.1.2 Graphical User Interface layout
This Graphical User Interface (GUI) has three main sections for navigating through the
management tool (Figure 5-3 on page 192). On the far left of the window are eight function
icons. The eight function icons represent the following menus:
򐂰 The Home menu
򐂰 The Monitoring menu
򐂰 The Pools menu
򐂰 The Volumes menu
򐂰 The Hosts menu
򐂰 The Copy Services menu
򐂰 The Access menu
򐂰 The Settings menu
In the middle of the window is a diagram illustrating the existing configuration. Clicking the
function icons in this area provides extended help references, including a link to a short video
presentation to explain the topic in more detail. This video is not a navigation tool, but rather
an extended help window that includes configuration information.
At the bottom of the window are three status indicators. Clicking any of them provides more
detailed information about the existing configuration of IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node
solution. Click any of these function icons to expand them and minimize them as required.
