See information about the status, capacity, and space usage of the internal resources for block storage systems.

Nodes, modules, and directors
View the information that is shown about nodes, spare nodes, modules, and directors in block storage systems.
Drives and disks
View the information that is shown about disk drives or disks in block storage systems.
Enclosures
View information about the enclosures for storage systems. Enclosures are the metal structures in which various storage components are mounted, including control units, nodes, disks or drives, and power supplies.
External disks
View the information that is shown about external disks or disk drives in block storage systems.
FC ports
View the information that is shown about Fibre Channel (FC) ports in block storage systems.
Host connections
View the information that is shown about host connections in block storage systems. The Host Connections tab shows list of hosts defined on the storage device. For VMAX storage systems, the Host Connections tab is renamed to Masking Views.
I/O groups
View the information that is shown about I/O groups in block storage systems.
IP ports
View information about IP ports to monitor the health and status of the IP ports, and to determine whether the ports are used for hosts, storage, or management. You can view information about IP ports on nodes on block storage systems that run IBM Storage Virtualize, such as IBM Storage FlashSystem family, SAN Volume Controller, and the IBM Storwize family.
Managed disks, external volumes, and array LUNs
View the information that is shown about managed disks or disk drives, external volumes, and array LUNs in block storage systems.
