Perform Storage Actions on Object Data in the Investigator

The two types of Actions available when a storage object row is selected in the Investigator are:

Navigation

The navigational types of actions available include:

Add to Topology Viewer

Adds the selected item to the Topology Viewer. For more information, see View Storage Object Relationships in the Topology Viewer.

Add Entity to Time Series

Adds the selected item to the Time Series. This action is only available for object line items of objects in the Statistics folder. For more information, see View Object Performance Data in the Time Series Facility.

Show other (related) objects to the row that is selected

Displays associated data in another object. To obtain more information about a selected record (row), use this to navigate to another object, if the selected record has associated data available in another object. For example, the Storage Groups object lists the storage group name and their space attributes. you can select a record and navigate to the Volumes object to see all the Volumes associated with the selected Storage Group.

Administrative Actions

An Administrative Action is a storage engine function or service that can be performed on an object or object attributes (object row). Depending on the object and the line item that is selected, the Administrative Actions listed are storage engine actions that can be performed on that line item, and in some cases the whole object. The selectable actions that are listed relate to specific functionality of the object being accessed.
