Device Manager - Storage Navigator allows you to set up and manage more than one storage system with a use-case in mind. Whether creating LDEVs or pools, adding host groups or LUN paths, enabling performance monitoring, or creating pairs for replication. These and all storage system tasks are made simpler because the GUI seamlessly crosses the underlying storage system software functionality. The use of wizards for major use-case tasks makes it possible to complete the set of tasks in one procedural flow, with a minimum of steps and a minimum of clicks.

The following illustration shows an example of the GUI main window. The Logical Devices tab has been selected. A top level view of the main window is shown in Viewing basic and detailed information.
