Path status

The way to view path status is as follows.

To view path status

  1. Make sure that the path you want to view the status for is displayed in the DMP DSMs tab in the right pane of the VEA console.

    If the DMP DSMs tab is not displayed, select a disk that uses that path in the tree view under the Disks folder. Then, in the right pane, click the DMP DSMs tab for the disk.

  2. Select the path in the DMP DSMs tab.

    Select Properties from the path context menu that comes up.

    The Path Properties screen appears.

    The screen displays the following information for the selected path:
