application is a placeholder you create for an application. For

 

example, you could create a virtual application for an application

 

that was created just for your company. See ”Creating a Virtual

 

Application” on page 289.

 

 

Reachable Storage

Provides information about the storage accessible from a selected

 

 

host, such as the following:

 

• Free volumes on current storage systems

 

• LUNs mapped to host, but not mounted with file systems

 

• Free volumes on other storage systems in host fabrics

 

• Free volumes on all other storage systems

Go to System Manager

System Manager provides a topology that lets you view how the

The charts in Backup Manager provide a wealth of information about your backups. You can easily obtain detailed information about a data point displayed in a chart by right-clicking the data point. For example, assume you are looking at a Service Level Agreement (SLA) chart on the Summary tab, and you want to obtain more information about a backup performed yesterday. You could right-click the bar yesterday’s date and select Show Details. You are then shown the Jobs tab, which displays the additional details of that data point, such as the backup status of each client, in addition to the start and end time of the backup on that client.
