<div><p>Before you change the disk configuration of your server, it is important
|
||
|
|
to know exactly where the existing disk units are located in relation to disk
|
||
|
|
pools, I/O adapters, and frames. The graphical view of iSeries™ Navigator
|
||
|
|
eliminates the process of compiling all this information by providing a graphical
|
||
|
|
representation of how your server is configured. You can use the graphical
|
||
|
|
view to perform any function that is possible through the Disk Units list
|
||
|
|
view of iSeries Navigator,
|
||
|
|
with the added benefit of being able to see a visual representation. If you
|
||
|
|
right-click any object in the table, such as a specific disk unit, disk pool,
|
||
|
|
parity set, or frame, you see the same options as in the main iSeries Navigator
|
||
|
|
window.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can choose how to view the hardware in the Disk Unit Graphical View
|
||
|
|
window. For example, you can select to view by disk pools, and then select
|
||
|
|
a disk pool in the list to display only those frames that contain the disk
|
||
|
|
units that make up the selected disk pool. You can select <span class="uicontrol">Show
|
||
|
|
all frames</span> to see all frames whether or not they contain disk
|
||
|
|
units in the selected disk pool. You can also select <span class="uicontrol">Show device
|
||
|
|
positions</span> to associate disk unit names with the device position
|
||
|
|
where they are inserted.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can right-click any highlighted blue disk unit in the graphical view
|
||
|
|
and select an action to perform on the disk unit. For example, you can select
|
||
|
|
to start or stop compression on a disk unit, include the disk unit in a parity
|
||
|
|
set (or exclude it), or rename the disk unit. If the disk unit has
|
||
|
|
mirrored protection (that is, it is one of a mirrored pair), you can suspend
|
||
|
|
or resume mirroring on the disk unit. If you right-click an empty disk unit
|
||
|
|
slot, you can start the Install Disk Unit wizard.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">To activate the graphical view, follow these steps:<ol><li>In iSeries Navigator,
|
||
|
|
expand <span class="uicontrol">My Connections</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Expand your iSeries <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">server </span> > <span class="uicontrol">Configuration and Service </span> > <span class="uicontrol"> Hardware </span> > <span class="uicontrol"> Disk Units</span></span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Right-click <span class="uicontrol">All Disk Units</span>, and select <span class="uicontrol">Graphical
|
||
|
|
View</span>.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>Here is an example of the graphical view in iSeries Navigator. The View by menu
|
||
|
|
lists several options for viewing disk units. </p>
|
||
|
|
<img src="rzalb002.gif" alt="This image shows your parity sets within the iSeries Navigator interface." /><p>When you make changes to your disk unit configuration, print the graphical
|
||
|
|
view for your recovery records. To print the graphical view, on the <span class="uicontrol">Disk
|
||
|
|
Units Graphical View</span> dialog box, select <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">File</span> > <span class="uicontrol">Print</span></span><span class="uicontrol"></span>.</p>
