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/Get Details. You can determine if the

 

management server is getting the topology or all element

 

details by looking 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 select Update

 

Element Data, the LUNs still appear in the user interface. You

 

must perform Discovery Data Collection/Get Details for the

 

deleted LUNs to be removed from the user interface. See Step

 

4 - Discovery Data Collection or Get Details” on page 80.

 

 

External Tools

Provides several ways to access an element:

 

Telnet - Lets you 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 - Lets you access the main Web page for a host or a

 

switch.

 

Set Up External Tools - Lets you add URLs for accessing the

 

management tools for the storage system. In some instances,

 

the management tool for the storage system is accessible from

 

this menu. For example, HiCommand for HDS storage systems

 

and Command View for HP XP storage systems are accessible

 

from the External Tools menu.
