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.
