3.1.1 Notes on operating HDLM GUI windows

This section gives notes on operating HDLM GUI windows. Make sure that you read this section.

• When the focus is on an object such as a button, the Enter key does not function as an operation, in the path management window or dialog box. Please use the Space key or click with the mouse to perform an operation in the window or dialog box.
• When the HDLM GUI is running for an extended period of time, response time might increase. In such a case, restart the HDLM GUI.
• When the focus is on the Status check box, the frame indicating the focus is not displayed, but you can perform operations.
• If you reconfigured an HDLM management-target device while the HDLM GUI was displayed, refresh the HDLM GUI.
• If the I/O load on the dynamic disk is heavy, it might take a long time to redisplay the HDLM GUI.
• When an operation to close a window is performed in the window frame of the path management window, the HDLM GUI will terminate even if the Option window remains open.
• If the HDLM GUI screen size is reduced, in some cases, buttons such as the Online and Offline buttons might become hidden. In such cases, please adjust the screen size appropriately, so that the buttons are visible.
• If you open multiple Path Management windows, the only logs output into the HDLM GUI log files (dlmguin.log, where n indicates a file number) will be those pertaining to the first-opened window. The logs pertaining to other Path Management windows are output to the integrated trace information file of the Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library (installation-destination-drive:\Program Files^#\HITACHI\HNTRLib2\spool\Hntr2n.log, where n indicates a file number).
