you select a non-host-based node, such as the All Hosts node or Configuration Warnings node, only the host running ASM is refreshed. Regardless of the object selected, press Ctrl+F5 to refresh all the hosts in the HIT Group. Table 15. ASM/ME Tree Panel Nodes Node All Hosts Description Summary information about all hosts in a HIT group, including the host name; connection status; all SharePoint farms (hyperlinked to the specific farm); all clusters (hyperlinked to the specific cluster); errors and warnings; volumes, collections and schedules; applications; Smart Copies; virtual machines; and SharePoint farms. Enables you to look in a single place to quickly see all the resources available in the HIT Group. Configuration Warnings Displayed when ASM/ME detects errors in the general configuration. Expands to display a synopsis of the error (for example, VSS Control Volume Configuration Error), a short description explaining the problem, and a link to launch the wizard showing the steps necessary to correct the problem. Applications Installed applications for which a VSS writer is available, such as Exchange, SQL Server, or Hyper-V. You can create simultaneous Smart Copies of all the application databases or of an individual database. On a cluster node that does not own the application cluster resources, the properties for the application writer warn that the application service is not running on that node. Volumes Disks connected to the computer, including PS Series volumes that are assigned a drive letter. Select a drive letter to display detailed information about the disk, including whether it supports Smart Copies, snapshot borrowing, and synchronous replication. You can create a snapshot, replica (unless SyncRep is enabled on the volume), or clone, or create a schedule for the volume. You cannot perform Smart Copy operations on a CD- ROM disk, floppy disk, a system disk, or a cluster quorum disk. On a cluster node, if the node does not own the physical disk resources for the volume, the volume is shown as an unsupported volume or might not appear at all in the tree panel. Collections A set of related databases enabling you to simultaneously create Smart Copies of multiple volumes or applications. Select a collection to display its properties and components. Collections of volumes on PS Series groups running firmware version 6.0 or later also display the following properties, if enabled: • Snapshot Borrowing (enabled, disabled, or unavailable)-Applies to any one or more volumes in the collection that are using the snapshot borrowing feature • Snapshot Borrow Space In Use-The amount of space that each volume in the collection is borrowing for their Smart Copies (snapshots) See View Volume Details or the Dell EqualLogic Group Manager Administrator's Guide for more information about snapshot borrowing. You can create, modify, or delete a collection, create a Smart Copy for the collection, or configure a schedule for the collection. On a cluster node that does not own the physical disk resources which are required for actions on the collection, the collection properties include warnings that required components and volumes could not be found on that node. Schedules Designated times, dates, and frequency for creating Smart Copies. When configured, the Global Verification Task appears under this node. (See Create or Modify the Global Verification Task.) On a cluster node, schedules that depend on cluster resources can be edited only on the node that currently owns those resources. However, any changes made are replicated to all possible owner nodes for the resources. 32 ASM/ME Graphical User Interface

Table 15. ASM/ME Tree Panel Nodes
Node
Description
All Hosts
Summary information about all hosts in a HIT group, including the host name; connection
status; all SharePoint farms (hyperlinked to the specific farm); all clusters (hyperlinked to the
specific cluster); errors and warnings; volumes, collections and schedules; applications;
Smart Copies; virtual machines; and SharePoint farms.
Enables you to look in a single place to quickly see all the resources available in the HIT
Group.
Configuration Warnings
Displayed when ASM/ME detects errors in the general configuration.
Expands to display a synopsis of the error (for example, VSS Control Volume Configuration
Error), a short description explaining the problem, and a link to launch the wizard showing
the steps necessary to correct the problem.
Applications
Installed applications for which a VSS writer is available, such as Exchange, SQL Server, or
Hyper-V. You can create simultaneous Smart Copies of all the application databases or of an
individual database.
On a cluster node that does not own the application cluster resources, the properties for the
application writer warn that the application service is not running on that node.
Volumes
Disks connected to the computer, including PS Series volumes that are assigned a drive
letter.
Select a drive letter to display detailed information about the disk, including whether it
supports Smart Copies, snapshot borrowing, and synchronous replication.
You can create a snapshot, replica (unless SyncRep is enabled on the volume), or clone, or
create a schedule for the volume. You cannot perform Smart Copy operations on a CD–
ROM disk, floppy disk, a system disk, or a cluster quorum disk.
On a cluster node, if the node does not own the physical disk resources for the volume, the
volume is shown as an unsupported volume or might not appear at all in the tree panel.
Collections
A set of related databases enabling you to simultaneously create Smart Copies of multiple
volumes or applications. Select a collection to display its properties and components.
Collections of volumes on PS Series groups running firmware version 6.0 or later also display
the following properties, if enabled:
•
Snapshot Borrowing
(enabled, disabled, or unavailable)—Applies to any one or
more volumes in the collection that are using the snapshot borrowing feature
•
Snapshot Borrow Space In Use
—The amount of space that each volume in the
collection is borrowing for their Smart Copies (snapshots)
See
View Volume Details
or the
Dell EqualLogic Group Manager Administrator’s Guide
for
more information about snapshot borrowing.
You can create, modify, or delete a collection, create a Smart Copy for the collection, or
configure a schedule for the collection.
On a cluster node that does not own the physical disk resources which are required for
actions on the collection, the collection properties include warnings that required
components and volumes could not be found on that node.
Schedules
Designated times, dates, and frequency for creating Smart Copies. When configured, the
Global Verification Task
appears under this node. (See
Create or Modify the Global
Verification Task
.)
On a cluster node, schedules that depend on cluster resources can be edited only on the
node that currently owns those resources. However, any changes made are replicated to all
possible owner nodes for the resources.
