Monitoring systems
This section describes how to monitor IBM® storage systems.
About this task
The Systems monitoring module provides a global health view of the monitored IBM storage systems and their associated components and objects (disks, volume group, volume mapping, and so on) in one general list.
Procedure
- To view more detailed information about
a specific system
component or object, click on its row. The details are displayed in the Detailed View pane located below the systems list.Notes:
- By default, the systems monitoring list is refreshed every 10 minutes (20 minutes for DS8000®). You can change this interval as described in Setting the storage system discovery intervals.
- SAN Volume Controller is monitored by clusters and not by systems. Therefore, its equivalent monitoring tree level displays 'Clusters' instead of 'Systems'.

- Alternatively, you can click on a specific component cell
on a specific column to see its associated components and details
in the Detailed View pane. Note: Only the object availability is monitored. The object status can be Healthy, Warning, or Critical.
