Administering Storage Resource Definitions

Storage Management Interface Overview

The Storage Management interface lets you administer storage resources using the back-end storage engine product. This interface includes many logically grouped storage objects, much like the Investigator. Launch the Storage Management interface from the Quick Links module.

The Storage Management interface is the CA Vantage web client.

You can perform Administrative Actions on storage resources using the Investigator. You can also perform these types of actions using the Storage Management interface. In this interface, these types of actions are referred to as storage engine line actions.

Some objects appear in the interface object tree but not in the Investigator Storage tree or some are renamed. A few examples are as follows:

The category CA SYSVIEW and all child objects have been removed from the Investigator Storage tree.
The Statistics category appears in the CA Chorus Investigator Storage tree, but not in the Storage Management interface. The Statistics category contains statistics object metrics for the Time Series Facility.
In the Investigator, a category is named Storage Platform Administration. In this interface object tree it is named CA Vantage Internal Management.

The interface has two online help systems. The Navigation Help guides you with Storage Management interface features and options. The Object Help provides a description of the object, fields (columns), and the storage engine line actions that you can perform.
