Using the SSI monitor

This topic provides a general overview for using the SSI monitor.

For a more detailed description, see Monitoring-and-managing-storage-devices.

To access the SSI monitor

  1. From the File List panel, select Monitors > SSI monitor.
  2. Access the SSI selection panel, enter the necessary search criteria to find the device that you want to manage, and press Enter.This search criteria includes such things as the type of device (PPRC, EMC, or Hitachi), the starting address, the ending address, the VOLSER, and so on.

  3. At the SSI status selection panel, select the status of the devices that you want to display (online, offline, or all) and press Enter.The SSI monitor lists the devices that match your criteria. From this panel, you can drill down to display devices in more detail or perform actions on the devices.

    Note

    You can manage hardware devices associated with a remote XBM subsystem in the SSI monitor instead of the local subsystem to which you are currently connected. To do so, see Displaying-detailed-information-for-a-remote-XBM-subsystem.

    The following figure shows an example of the SSI monitor for Hitachi devices.
