The Perspective bar

The Perspective bar located at the far left of the console, provides quick access to different perspectives (views) of the system that you are connected to. Clicking a perspective displays certain operations and objects of the system.

The perspectives are as follows:

System

Displays the objects, details of the objects, and status of the system.

Assistant

Provides shortcuts to perform common tasks on the objects of the system. This provides a task-based approach to operations that can be performed on the system.

Logs

Displays the system's task and alert logs in the right pane. Clicking the Alert Log tab or the Task Log tab in the right pane displays the corresponding log entries.

The logs are as follows:

  • The Task Log is a listing of tasks, such as formatting a volume or resynchronization of a volume. In SFW, the Task Log is not implemented.

  • The Alert Log lists events and alerts pertaining to the Storage Foundation for Windows program.

See Alert log.

Control Panel

Displays the tasks related to configuring the system. The Control Panel lets you access settings for Logs, Rule Management, Configuration Backup, Historical Statistics, SMTP Configuration, Task Settings, and Track Alignment.

See Configuring SFW.
