Introduction to the Lenovo Storage V7000management GUI

Lenovo Storage V7000 includes an easy-to-use management GUI to help you to monitor, manage, and configure your system.

You can access the management GUI by opening any supported web browser and entering the management IP addresses.You can connect from any workstation that can communicate with the system, or from a laptop connected by an Ethernet cable to the Technician port. In addition to simple setup, configuration, and management functions, the management GUI provides several additional functions that help filter and sort data on the system:
Filtering and sorting objects
On panels that include columns, you can sort each column by clicking the column heading. You can use the filtering feature to display items that include only text that you specify.
Selecting multiple objects
You can use the Ctrl key to select multiple items and choose actions on those objects by right-clicking them to display the actions menu. You can right-click any column heading to add or remove columns from the table.
Using preset options
The management GUI includes several preestablished configuration options to help you save time during the configuration process. For example, you can select from several preset options when creating a new volume. These preset options incorporate commonly used parameters.
Viewing help
Another useful interface feature is integrated help. You can access help for some fields and objects in the management GUI by hovering over the question mark icon that displays near the object. Panel-specific help is available by clicking Need Help or by using the Help link in the upper-right corner of the management GUI.
