About the Volumes views

The tree view (the left pane) shows the elements that are part of the disk layout. The elements in the tree change depending on the operating system of the client and the volume managers that are enabled. The tree view filters the details pane on the right. Select an element to display its attributes in the right pane and to filter other elements so they do not appear in the details pane.

The following indicators show an element's state throughout the mapping process:

Unmapped	The element is not mapped into the new configuration.
Mapped	The element is mapped into the new configuration.
Restricted	The disk is or was shared or manually restricted and cannot be used.

The details pane on the right contains the following views:

The Table View shows the elements in an ordered list.
The Disk View shows how every disk is organized. A colored bar indicates the type of storage layout. For extended partitions, the primary partition color appears in the top color bar and the extended color in a bottom bar. For soft partitions, the top bar shows the underlying volume or slice on which the soft partition was created.
The Original Volume Layout (the top window) shows the volume layout and the source elements (disks, disk groups, or volumes) in the original system.

The amount of space that is used and the size of the disk appears. To view the properties for an element, right-click the element and select Properties on the shortcut menu.
The New Volume Layout (the bottom window) shows the volume layout and elements for the target system. If you initialize the configuration with the layout from a discovered configuration, map elements from the Original Volume Layout to the New Volume Layout.

The following is the hierarchy for volume information:

A disk group, volume group, or disk set contains disks.
A disk contains volumes and partitions.
A volume or a partition contains file systems.

All volume managers may not use all of these logical concepts. For example, a Solaris slice does not belong to a disk group and has only a file system.

The following tables show the various elements in the tree view and what appears in the Table View tab and Disk View tab.
