A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Views

The SE package contains views that display common storage topologies. These are basic views that can be customized to suit the integrated SE applications.

Storage Array Details

This view shows a Storage Array and its components including Logical Volumes, HBAs, Storage Processors, and Fibre Channel Ports. The view shows each component under its container Storage Array and groups Logical Volumes by CI Type.

Storage Array does not require all components in this view to be functional. Composition links stemming from the Storage Array have a cardinality of zero-to-many. The view may show Storage Arrays even when there are no Logical Volumes or Storage Processors.

FC Switch Details

This view shows a Fibre Channel Switch and all connected Fibre Channel Ports.

FC Switch Virtualization

FC Switch Virtualization consists of a physical switch or chassis, partitioned into multiple logical switches. Unlike Ethernet virtualization, physical ports are not shared among multiple virtual switches. Rather, each virtual switch is assigned one or more dedicated physical ports that are managed independently by the logical switches.

Storage Pool Details

This view shows Storage Pools with associated Storage Arrays and Logical Volumes.

Host Storage Details

This view shows only Hosts that contain a Fibre Channel HBA or a Logical Volume. This keeps the view storage-specific and prevents hosts discovered by other DFM jobs from being included in the view.

SAN External Storage

External storage configuration consists of a storage array presenting a logical volume that, in reality, belongs to another storage array. This is typically used in configurations where high-end, more expensive, front-end arrays present volumes from back-end, cheaper, storage to servers. The goal of this type of virtualization is to virtualize multiple disk arrays from different vendors, scattered over the network, into a single monolithic storage device that can be managed uniformly.

SAN Topology

This view maps physical connections between Storage Arrays, Fibre Channel Switches, and Hosts. The view shows Fibre Channel Ports below their containers. The view groups the Fibre Channel Connect relationship CIT to prevent multiple relationships between the same nodes from appearing in the top layer.
