Point of view selectors
Located on the lower left of the window, these selectors enable you to select the point of view that
is displayed. The selector for the active point of view is colored orange.
• When the storage systems point of view is selected, all of the managed and initialized storage
systems in the Management Group are displayed in an expandable tree in the navigation
pane.
• When the settings point of view is selected, storage applications and folders of unmanaged
and uninitialized storage systems are displayed in the navigation pane. In the settings point
of view you can change storage application settings, assume management control of
unmanaged storage systems, and initialize storage systems.
