Monitoring physical and logical components

This section describes monitoring physical and logical components.

About this task

Each management pack folder includes two sub-folders that you can use to monitor two major types of components:
  • Physical components – Hardware components that a storage system comprises.
  • Logical components – User-defined storage entities that can be modified during operation and added or removed per specific use as necessary.
The following table summarizes the logical and physical components that are monitored for each IBM® storage system.
