  1. You right-click the workspace to access the context menu.
  2. You select Launch and immediately access the sign-on screen for the instance of IBM TotalStorage Productivity Center for the storage resource that you want to investigate.
  3. You discover a need to allocate space to the extent pool that generated the alert.
