Equipment Folders
Equipment folders provide a basic container for your devices. They let you
store your devices in logical, physical groupings according to your choice
of physical property. For example, you could create folders for subnets,
sites, machine rooms, equipment bays, or even racks. Equipment folders
can hold any type of EMS object, however 3Com recommends you limit
equipment folders to only contain devices.
Logical Views
You can create as many logical views as you need to group your EMS
objects in a way that makes sense for you. The important fact to bear in
mind is that the logical views can contain any object. For example, you
could create a logical view that groups a common set of devices together
with their relevant configuration templates and scheduled operations.
Logical views can contain objects that are links to objects elsewhere in
the EMS Explorer Tree. For example, when you discover or add a new
device to an equipment folder, EMS creates a corresponding
system-defined logical view that groups the new devices according to
device type. The devices inside the device type folders are actually links
to the original object in the equipment folder. If you reserve the object
in the equipment folder, the link is reserved at the same time.
Logical views can be used in conjunction with the Root View for a
user. A user can be limited to only seeing the contents of the logical
view assigned as their root view. Combining this with the other
capabilities mentioned in this section, the EMS administrator can
create logical views for each user that contain not only the devices,
but also any pre-configured scheduled operations, data collections,
configuration templates or any other EMS objects (or entire folders)
the user may need.
As a further level of control, the EMS data product device support
includes folders for
Administration , Security , Configuration ,
Performance , and Fault . Using logical views, you can limit users such
that they can only access the Performance folders (but not the
Administration folder) for example.
