Note: You may want to use the Storage Subsystem Profile
1 |
Select the Storage Subsystem from the Subsystem Management Window, then, select either the View >>Storage Subsystem Profile pull-down menu option, or View Profile from the right-mouse pop-up menu. Result: The Storage Subsystem Profile dialog is displayed. To view detailed information, select one of the tabs and use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to view the profile information. |
2 |
Select Close. Result: The Storage Subsystem Profile dialog is closed. |
The Storage Subsystem Profile contains several tabs, the titles of which each correspond to the subject of the information contained. The table below contains descriptions of the information unique to the tabs in the Storage Subsystem Profile and provides links to related Help topics that provide more detailed information. If the tab requires no additional detail, it is not described.
All |
The All tab displays a summary of available Storage Subsystem Profile data. Select a tab to view section-specific information. Note: Numbers of Standard Logical Drives, Mirror Repository Logical Drives, FlashCopy Repository Logical Drives, and FlashCopy Logical Drives are each shown separately in a series of sub-tabs contained in this tab. For more information on the Media scan duration (in days) field, see Changing the Storage Subsystem Media Scan Settings. For more information on the fields labeled Start cache flushing at (in percentage), Stop cache flushing at (in percentage), and Cache block size (in KB), see Changing Storage Subsystem Cache Settings. |
Controllers |
The Controllers tab of the Storage Subsystem Profile contains three data fields that apply only to Fibre Channel host interfaces. These fields are: Topology For information about any other data field in the Controller Information section, see Viewing Controller Properties. |
Arrays |
The Arrays tab displays a summary of the logical drives for each array, controller ownership details, and associated drives. Each Array heading includes an array sequence number |
Logical Drives |
The Logical Drives tab is divided into five sections, with separate tabs providing access to information for each type of logical drive. A Missing Logical Drives tab will be available when missing logical drives are detected. Select a tab to view the associated information.
|
Mirrors |
The Mirrors tab is a section of logical drive information which provides access to information about the Remote Mirroring feature. The section provides a summary of the number of mirrored pairs in the storage subsystem, together with detailed mirroring information for each Remote Mirror. General information about the standard logical drives involved in mirror relationships can be found under the Logical Drives sub-tab. Notes: If either logical drive in a Remote Mirror is in an Unresponsive state, the following details will display in the Mirrors tab for that logical drive in the mirror pair:
If unresponsive logical drives are present, then another entry is added to the list of details:
A World-Wide Name Change Failed state will display like an Unresponsive state. The last known data, taken from the cache, will be displayed for Unresponsive logical drives. For more information, see Learn About Remote Mirroring. |
Drives |
The Drives tab provides a summary of the storage subsystem's drives, together with detailed information for each specific drive. For more information, see Viewing Drive Properties. Important: If you have utilized any unsupported drives, they will be identified at the end of the Storage Subsystem Profile by the message "Uncertified drives were detected in this configuration which voids your warranty." Contact technical support for additional information. |
Enclosures |
The Enclosures tab displays information for the controller enclosure and for each drive enclosure in ascending enclosure ID order. The controller enclosure section includes specific manufacturer information on the various components (if available). This information can be useful when servicing the enclosure. For more information, see Viewing the Status of Controller Enclosure Components and Viewing the Status of Drive Enclosure Components. |
Mappings |
The Mappings tab displays logical drive-to-LUN mapping information and any topology definitions that have been configured for the storage subsystem. Note: If the Storage Partitioning feature is not enabled, this area will list all the default logical drive-to-LUN mappings under the Default Group. For more information, see Learn About Creating Storage Partitions and Learn About Defining Storage Partition Topology. |
Last known data |
The Last Known Data is a designation that only displays if Unresponsive logical drives exist. This shows that the data supplied for Unresponsive logical drives is the last known data for the logical drives, loaded from the cache. For more information, see Introduction to Remote Mirroring. |

4 |
Select an appropriate directory. |
5 |
Type the file name of your choice in the File Name text box. You do not need to specify a file extension, but to associate the file with a particular software application that will open it, an extension such as .txt is helpful. Example: Name the file Southwest SA Profile 032701. This name identifies the Storage Subsystem (Southwest) and the date of the profile (032701). |
