SAN Properties

To view or edit a SAN's properties, double-click its diagram symbol or Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Name/Code/Comment

Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.

Cost

[read-only] Specifies the total cost of the SAN, based on the price specified on the model property sheet (see Reference Architecture Model Properties).

The following tabs are also available:
  • Detail – Lists the sizes of the IQ stores, application store, and backup store, along with the RAID level and access bandwidth in MB/s.

  • IQ Stores – Lists the IQ stores defined on the SAN (see IQ Store Properties).
