7.7.3 Storage subsystem profile

The storage subsystem profile provides a description of all of the components and properties

of the storage subsystem. The profile viewer also allows the user to save the storage

subsystem profile information to a text file. You might want to use the storage subsystem

profile as an aid during recovery or as an overview of the current configuration of the storage

subsystem. You might want to save a copy of the storage subsystem profile on the Storage

Manager workstation and keep a hard copy with the DS4000 / DS5000 storage subsystem.

Create a new copy of the storage subsystem profile if your configuration changes.

To open the storage subsystem profile, perform one of the following actions:

򐂰 Select Storage Subsystem  View  Profile.

򐂰 Select the Summary tab, and click Storage Subsystem Profile in the Status area.
