The Disk View can be accessed in two ways.

The same commands are available in both views. The Disk View available from the tree view context menu opens a separate window that can remain open as you continue to work in Storage Foundation for Windows.

Additionally, you can use the Ctrl key to select only the specific objects (disks, volumes, or disk groups) you want to include in the separate disk view. This feature is helpful if you have a very large number of disks or volumes.

The commands in Disk View include Refresh View, Print, Show Legend, and four options for different views of the selected disks: Expand, Vol Details, Full Volume Display, and Projection. These commands are available from several different places.

From the Disk View tab in the right pane, right-click in an empty space (right-click any area of the pane where there is not a graphical representation of a disk), and a context menu containing the commands appears.

If you have created a separate window by selecting Disk View from the context menu, these commands can be accessed by right-clicking in an empty space (right-clicking on any area of the pane where there is not a graphical representation of a disk), by clicking the Options or File menu on the menu bar, or by clicking on icons on the toolbar.
