Using views and layouts
The views and layouts differ for each element of your network that uses the map view.
For views and layouts available, see:
• Working with management groups, “Management group map view tab” (page 106)
• Controlling server access to volumes, “Server cluster map view” (page 202)
• Sites, HP P4000 Multi-Site HA/DR Solution Pack User Guide
• Clusters, “Cluster Map View” (page 134)
• Volumes and Snapshots, “Volumes map view” (page 158)
• SmartClone volumes, “Using views” (page 191)
Setting preferences
Use the Preferences window to set the following:
• Font size in the CMC
• Locale for the CMC. The locale determines the language displayed in the CMC.
• Naming conventions for storage elements
• Online upgrade options. See “Setting upgrade preferences” (page 25).
Setting the font size and locale
Use the Preferences window, opened from the Help menu, to set font size and locale in the CMC.
Font sizes from 9 through 16 are available.
The CMC obtains the locale setting from your computer. If you change the locale on your computer
and open the CMC, it uses the new locale, if available in the CMC.
You can override the locale setting from your computer by selecting a different locale in the CMC.
Changing the locale in the CMC affects the language of the text that appears in the CMC and in
the online help.
After changing the locale, you must close and reopen the CMC to see the change.
Setting naming conventions
Use the Preferences window, opened from the Help menu, to set naming conventions for elements
you create when building the HP P4000 SAN Solution. You can use the default values or create
your own set of customized values.
When you install the CMC for the first time, or upgrade from release 7.0.x, default names are
enabled for snapshots, including schedules to snapshot a volume, and for SmartClone volumes.
No default names are provided for management groups, clusters, and volumes.
