Update Element Data

The management server gathers new and changed details from

 

the element and then redraws the topology with the updated

 

information.

 

Important:

 

Do not update element data during Get Topology or Discovery

 

Data Collection. To determine if the management server is

 

getting the topology or all element details, look at the label

 

near the Status button.

 

The Update Element Data functionality does not detect element

 

components that have been removed, such as ports and LUNs.

 

For example, assume you removed several LUNs from an array.

 

If you right-click the storage system, and then select Update

 

Element Data, the deleted LUNs still appear in the user

 

interface. You must perform Discovery Data Collection for the

 

deleted LUNs to be removed from the user interface.

 

For more information, see Discovery Data Collection” on

 

page 67.

 

 

External Tools

Provides several ways to access an element:

 

Telnet — Allows you to access a host or a switch through the

 

telnet utility. The Telnet feature is only accessible to Web

 

browsers on Microsoft Windows operating systems.

 

Browse — Allows you to access the main Web page for a host

 

or a switch.

 

Set Up External Tools — Allows you to add URLs for accessing

 

the management tools for the storage system. In some

 

instances, the management tool for the storage system is

 

directly accessible from this menu (for example, HiCommand

 

for HDS storage systems and Command View for HP XP

 

storage systems).

 

See Using External Tools” on page 302

 

 

Add Virtual Application

Allows you to add an unsupported application so you can monitor

 

it. For example, you might want to add a virtual application so

 

you can monitor software that was created uniquely for your

 

company.

 

See Creating a Virtual Application” on page 321.
