IBM 201 manual Discovering NAS 200 Appliances, v The Tree View Pane, v The Information Pane

vThe Tree View Pane

The Tree View Pane, located on the left side of the IAACU Console window, presents a list of all discovered NAS 200 appliances and includes any Families you have previously defined. The Tree View Pane also includes groups for appliances that do not fit any of the defined Families, that were not configured using the IAACU, or that have IP addresses that conflict with other devices on your network. When you click on any item in the Tree View, information about that item (and any items that are nested below that item in the tree view) displays in the Information Pane.

vThe Information Pane

The Information Pane, located at the right side of the IAACU Console, displays information about the item that is currently selected in the Tree View Pane. The information that displays in the Information Pane varies depending on the item that is selected. For example, if you select the All Appliances item from the Tree View Pane, the Information Pane displays configuration information (IP settings, hostname, serial number, and so on) about each of the NAS 200 appliances that have been discovered by the IAACU Console. However, if you select a Family, the Information Pane displays information about the Family settings for the selected Family.

The IAACU Console also features the following menus:

vFile: Use the File menu to import or export the IAACU Console configuration data, to scan the network, or to exit the program.

vFamily: Use the Family menu to add or delete Families, or to move Families up or down in the tree view.

vAppliance: Use the Appliance menu to remove a previously discovered appliance from a Family or group, and to add an appliance to the first matching Family in the tree view.

vHelp: Use the Help menu to display product information.

Discovering NAS 200 Appliances

Any NAS 200 appliance, or other IBM appliance, that is running and is connected to the same subnet as the system running the IAACU Console is automatically discovered when you start the IAACU Console. Discovered appliances appear in the IAACU Console tree view (in the left pane of the IAACU Console window). Each appliance will appear in two locations in the tree view:

1.Every discovered appliance is listed in the tree view under All Appliances.

2.Each discovered appliance will also appear in one of the following portions of the tree view:

v In a Family

If the discovered appliance fits the requirements of a Family, it will automatically appear as part of a Family.

Note: If a discovered appliance fits the requirements of more than one Family, it is automatically added to the first appropriate Family that is listed in the tree view, starting from the top of the tree. For information on how to move appliances between families, see “Using Families and Groups in the Tree View” on page 12.

vIn the Orphaned Appliances group

If the discovered appliance does not fit a previously configured Family, it is placed in the Orphaned Appliances group.

vIn the Orphaned Externally Configured Appliances group
