NAME
       dxlsm  - Graphical interface, also called the Visual Administrator, for
       the Logical Storage Manager (LSM)

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/X11/dxlsm [-options]

OPTIONS
       Specifies the color of the window's background (color  displays	only).
       The default is white.  Specifies the display screen on which dxlsm dis‐
       plays its window. If the display flag is not specified, dxlsm uses  the
       display	screen	specified  by  your DISPLAY environment variable.  The
       display variable has the format hostname:number.	 Using two colons (::)
       instead	of  one (:) indicates that DECnet is to be used for transport.
       The default is :0.  For more information,  see  X(1X).	Specifies  the
       color of the text (color displays only).	 The default is black.	Speci‐
       fies the width, length, and location of the dxlsm window. If the geome‐
       try flag is not specified, dxlsm uses default values. The geometry flag
       has the format =[width][xlength][x][y]. For more information about  the
       screen coordinate system, see X(1X).  Brings up a help screen that dis‐
       plays the dxlsm flags.  Uses a monochrome  display  instead  of	color.
       Instead	of using color to differentiate icons, the display uses bitmap
       patterns of varying textures and shades.	 Specifies the title  for  the
       dxlsm window.  Sets the specified X resource for the current dxlsm ses‐
       sion.  See the X DEFAULTS section of this reference page for a list  of
       the  resources  you  can	 set.	Suppresses  a reminder message that is
       issued by default when dxlsm is used in a TruCluster Production	Server
       or  TruCluster  Available Server configuration. Unless suppressed, this
       message is displayed each time dxlsm starts up and whenever the config‐
       uration is changed.

DESCRIPTION
       The  Visual  Administrator  (dxlsm) is a graphical user interface (GUI)
       for LSM. The Visual Administrator  interface  provides  the  user  with
       graphical  elements  such as icons, windows, and menus to ease the task
       of manipulating the LSM configuration.  Note that the  Visual  Adminis‐
       trator  software	 is  included  with  the  base system software, but it
       requires a separate LSM license to run.

       The graphical interface is designed primarily for disk and volume oper‐
       ations.	 For  example, you can use it to add and rename disks; to ini‐
       tialize and remove  diskgroups;	to  mirror  volumes,  and  to  create,
       change,	and  remove  volumes,  plexes,	and subdisks. You can also use
       dxlsm to display information about disks and volumes.  In  addition  to
       the  disk  and  volume  operations, the Visual Administrator provides a
       limited set of file system operations.  For example, you can create and
       mirror file sytems.

       The  Visual  Administrator  interface provides a consistent view of the
       LSM configuration. If a configuration or its objects are changed	 while
       a Visual Administrator session is running, the icons representing those
       objects automatically alter themselves to  reflect  such	 changes.  The
       icons  adjust  themselves  in  this  manner,  regardless of whether the
       changes were made by the Visual Administrator itself or by another  LSM
       interface.

       Before  you  can start the LSM Visual Administrator, you must be logged
       into an account that has superuser  privileges.	To  start  the	Visual
       Administrator  from  the	 command line, enter the dxlsm command as fol‐
       lows:

       # dxlsm

       When dxlsm comes up, it displays the main LSM Visual Administrator win‐
       dow, called the root window, and the View of rootdg window.

   Mouse Buttons
       A  two-	or  three-button  mouse is required in order to use dxlsm. The
       following table describes the default mouse buttons, referred to as the
       MB1, MB2, and MB3 buttons.

   Icons
       The Visual Administrator interface uses icons to represent the  follow‐
       ing LSM objects: volumes plexes subdisks disks

       Disk groups are represented as view windows rather than icons.

       The  icons representing LSM disks, volumes, and other objects belonging
       to a particular disk group are all displayed within  the	 view  of  the
       disk  group.   The following list describes the icons and their charac‐
       teristics.  Physical disks appear  as  cylindrical  icons  labeled  PD.
       These  icons  represent	physical  disks	 known to dxlsm. Physical disk
       icons appear in the View of Disks window.  Partitions appear as rectan‐
       gular  icons within physical disk icons.	 The partition icon is labeled
       with the device name. If a disk has been added to  a  disk  group,  the
       corresponding  partition	 icon is shaded. Partition icons appear in the
       View of Disks window.  LSM disks appear as cylindrical icons labeled  D
       usually contain subdisks, which are represented as rectangles. LSM disk
       icons represent disks that are both under LSM control and assigned to a
       disk group.  LSM disk icons are labeled with the disk name, by default.
       LSM disk icons typically appear in a disk group view.  Subdisks	appear
       within LSM disks (and often within plexes) as rectangular shaped icons.
       Subdisk icons typically appear in disk group views or in	 the  View  of
       Volumes	window.	 Log  subdisks (used to log recent disk activity) have
       icons with double borders to  distinguish  them	from  regular  subdisk
       icons.	Plexes	appear	either	alone  or within volumes as relatively
       large rectangles containing subdisks. Plex icons have a heavy border to
       distinguish  them from partition or subdisk icons. Plex icons typically
       appear in disk group views or in the View of Volumes  window.   Volumes
       appear  as cylindrical icons labeled V.	These icons often contain plex
       and subdisk icons. Volume icons are distinguished from disk icons by  a
       heavy  border.  Volume icons typically appear in disk group views or in
       the View of Volumes window.  With some operations,  icons  are  updated
       almost  instantly  to  reflect  the  results of the operation just per‐
       formed. During other operations, it may take awhile  for	 a  particular
       icon  to	 update	 itself. While being updated, icons are prevented from
       accepting input or undergoing configuration  changes.   Since  an  icon
       that is busy being updated should not be selected or manipulated, dxlsm
       greys out the text in that icon so that the user is aware  that	it  is
       temporarily  inaccessible.  No input is accepted by an icon while it is
       greyed out. As soon as the icon is fully updated,  it  returns  to  its
       normal visual state and accepts input again. Icons that are temporarily
       greyed out in this manner are also referred to as blocked icons.

       There are two ways to manipulate icons, as  described  here:  The  user
       first  selects an icon by positioning the pointer on it and then click‐
       ing MB1 (when selecting a single icon) or MB2 (when selecting  multiple
       icons)  button.	The  mouse  or	keyboard can then be used to choose an
       operation (typically from a menu) to be applied to the selected	icons.
       The  user drags an icon and then drops it elsewhere. An icon is dragged
       by holding down MB1 and then moving the mouse, which moves  an  outline
       of  that	 icon. The icon can then be positioned in a different location
       or on top of another icon and  dropped  there  by  releasing  MB1.  The
       resulting operation depends on the icon type and drop location.

       Depending  on the type of monitor you are using, the Visual Administra‐
       tor employs color or bitmap patterns to indicate the  following:	 State
       of  an icon Activity level of an icon Relationships between icons Fail‐
       ure of an operation

       It is possible for a single icon to be in multiple  states  represented
       by  different colors or patterns at once. For example, a given icon may
       be both selected and under projection at the same time. In such	cases,
       the reflects the color or pattern that represents the highest priority.
       The following is the priority list for possible icon  states,  starting
       with  the  highest  priority: Blocked Error Selected Projected Analyzed
       Enabled

       An icon that is in the blocked state (highest priority) is one that  is
       currently  busy	and cannot allow any mouse or keyboard input. The text
       within a blocked icon is greyed out to indicate that it	is  inaccessi‐
       ble.

       If  a  color  monitor is used, the default colors are red, yellow, grey
       and green. If a monochrome monitor is used, bitmap patterns of  varying
       textures	 and shades are used instead of colors. By default, standard X
       Window	 System	   bitmaps    (typically     located	 in	either
       /usr/include/X11/bitmaps or are used to create these patterns.

       The  following  table  describes	 the values for the default colors and
       bitmap patterns associated with icons under different  conditions.  See
       the  X  DEFAULTS	 section  of this reference page for information about
       changing the default colors and patterns.

   Windows and Views
       Once you start the Visual Administrator, any of the view windows can be
       accessed	 via  the  root window. Views are special windows that display
       icons representing all LSM objects or a	subset	of  objects  currently
       known to LSM.

       When  the  Visual  Administrator	 comes up, it displays the main Visual
       Administrator window (also known as the root window). The  root	window
       contains	 a  menu  bar  and a set of buttons. The set of buttons varies
       slightly depending on whether you have RAID (Redundant Arrays of	 Inde‐
       pendent	Disks)	subsystems installed on your system. The menu bar con‐
       tains the following pull-down menu items: Closes the current window  or
       exits the Visual Administrator interface completely Creates and manipu‐
       lates user views Sets user preferences when using the  Visual  Adminis‐
       trator GUI Accesses the help facility

       From  the  Visual  Administrator root window, you can use the pull-down
       Views menu to get to the views windows.	With views,  you  can  examine
       and manipulate different parts of the physical and logical storage sys‐
       tems. You can add or remove icons from views only by using the LSM Vis‐
       ual Administrator.

       Each  view  window  title includes the name of the machine on which the
       session is running.

       The Visual Administrator root window provides a view button  area  con‐
       taining	a  button  for every view on the system. Views are accessed by
       clicking MB1 on one of the view buttons in the views subwindow.

       The Visual Administrator allows for two types of views:	default	 views
       and  user-created  views.  Both types function identically, but certain
       restrictions are placed on  default  views.  Default  views  cannot  be
       removed or renamed by the user, as user-created views can.

       Click on the mouse buttons to access the default view windows described
       in the following table.

       ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       Menu Buttons   Window		Access
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       Disks	      View of Disks	Displays all physical  disks  on
					the system
       Volumes	      View of Volumes	Displays all volumes, as well as
					plexes and associated  subdisks,
					on the system
       World	      View of World	Displays  everything on the sys‐
					tem including physical	and  LSM
					disks,	  volumes,   and   other
					objects
       rootdg	      View of rootdg	Displays   everything	in   the
					default	 disk  group,  rootdg  ,
					including  LSM	disks,	volumes,
					and other objects
       ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

       A  user-created view is a view window that focuses on a particular part
       of a physical and a logical mass storage system, as defined by the sys‐
       tem administrator. The system administrator can create views consisting
       of a selected collection of icons. For example, a user might  create  a
       special view to correspond to a physical or logical grouping (such as a
       view for the accounting department).   User-created  views  enable  the
       user  to isolate part of the mass storage subsystem to observe or moni‐
       tor that part of the configuration.

       User-created views differ from  default	views  in  that	 they  contain
       copies  of icons from default views. Operations performed on these icon
       copies are reflected in the default views  that	display	 the  affected
       icons.  However, icons that appear in user-created views are not always
       updated whenever those icons are altered in the	corresponding  default
       view.

       User-created  views  can be created using the Views pull-down menu from
       the Visual Administrator root window.  Once created, icons can be added
       to  a  new view window by copying them over from existing views via the
       Icon menu.

   The rootdg Window
       By default, the View of rootdg window, which contains objects belonging
       to the rootdg disk group, appears immediately after the Visual Adminis‐
       trator window displays.

       You should perform operations in	 the  View  of	rootdg	window	or  in
       another disk group view whenever possible.

       The  View of rootdg window has a menu bar containing the following menu
       items: Closes the current window or exits the Visual Administrator com‐
       pletely	Accesses  basic	 volume,  file	system,	 and  disk  operations
       Accesses advanced operations involving volumes, disks,  and  other  LSM
       objects Analyzes and displays the activity level of objects Illustrates
       the relationships between certain objects  Sets	user  preferences  for
       using  the GUI. Also displays the Command Info window Manipulates icons
       Accesses the help facility

   Disk Operations
       This section lists the disk operations you can perform using the Visual
       Administrator.

       Disk  groups  are  represented visually as disk group views rather than
       icons. To view the objects in a particular disk group, click MB1 on the
       appropriate  disk  group	 button	 in the Visual Administrator window. A
       View of Disks window appears. Physical disk icons containing  partition
       icons  are  displayed  in  this window. Disks under LSM control contain
       partition icons that are colored or patterned. Note that	 the  View  of
       rootdg  window  is the view of the disks that belong to the rootdg disk
       group.

       To display information about for a particular LSM disk, in the View  of
       rootdg or appropriate disk group view, click MB3 on the disk icon whose
       properties you want to view. The disk's properties form	appears,  dis‐
       playing	detailed information about the disk.  For example, the proper‐
       ties form includes a field that shows the maximum free space  available
       on that disk.

       It  is possible to alter certain characteristics of the disk by editing
       the appropriate properties form field and then clicking MB1  on	Apply.
       For  example,  you  can use the properties form to change the name of a
       disk.

       For the following operations, in the appropriate view window, begin  by
       selecting  Disk Group from the Advanced-Ops menu.  Add a disk to a disk
       group Deport a disk group Import a disk group

	      Note that you can be in any view window to import a disk	group.
	      Remove a disk from a disk group

	      After  you remove a disk from a disk group, select the Disk menu
	      from the Advanced-Ops menu and select Remove Disk.

       See the manual Logical Storage Manager for  more	 information  on  disk
       operations.

   Volume Operations
       The  volume operations are performed from the View of rootdg window for
       the rootdg disk group or from the appropriate disk group view for other
       disk groups.

       To  display information about a volume, in the View of rootdg or appro‐
       priate disk group view, click MB3 on the volume icon  whose  properties
       you  want  to  view.  The  volume's properties form appears, displaying
       detailed information about the volume.  It is possible to alter certain
       characteristics	of the volume (such as its name) by editing the appro‐
       priate properties form field and then clicking MB1 on Apply.

       To perform the following volume operations using the Visual Administra‐
       tor,  from the appropriate disk view, select Volume Operations from the
       Basic-Ops menu: Create a simple volume

	      If you want to specify the disk where the	 volume	 will  reside,
	      click  MB1  on  the  desired  disk icon, before selecting Volume
	      Operations from the Basic-Ops menu. Otherwise, LSM  will	select
	      the  disk	 for  you.   Create  a	striped volume Mirror a volume
	      Resize a volume, either by extending or shrinking	 it  Remove  a
	      volume

       To  back	 up  a	volume,	 follow	 these steps: In View of rootdg or the
       appropriate disk group view, select the volume you  want	 to  back  up.
       Select  Basic-OPs  → Volume Operations → Snapshot → Snapstart.  For UFS
       volumes, you may want to unmount the file  system  briefly,  to	ensure
       that  the  snapshot  data  on  disk is consistent and complete.	Select
       Basic-Ops → Volume Operations → Snapshot → Snapshot.  In	 the  Snapshot
       Form,  either  accept  the default snapshot name or fill in a new name,
       then click MB1 on Apply to complete the	backup	snapshot.   Note  that
       normal  usage of the original volume can now resume.  Back up the snap‐
       shot volume to tape.  Remove the snapshot volume by first selecting  it
       and then selecting the following menu items:

	      Basic-Ops → Volume Operations → Remove Volumes Recursively

       See  the	 manual Logical Storage Manager for more information on volume
       operations.

   File System Operations
       The file system operations are performed from the View of rootdg window
       for  the	 rootdg disk group or from the appropriate disk group view for
       other disk groups.

       To perform the following file system operations, from  the  appropriate
       disk  view, first select UFS Operations from the Basic-Ops menu: Create
       a file system on a simple or striped volume Make a file system

	      This operation is different from creating a file system, in that
	      in  this operation, the volume on which you create the file sys‐
	      tem already exists.  Mount a file system Umount  a  file	system
	      Display a mounted file system

       To mirror a file system, select the following: Basic-Ops → Volume Oper‐
       ations → Add Mirror

       See the manual Logical Storage Manager for  more	 information  on  file
       system operations.

   Analyze Menu
       The  Analyze  menu,  available  from  the View of rootdg and other disk
       group views, allows you to display statistics about the performance  of
       LSM  objects.  Note that only volume and LSM disk icons can be selected
       for analysis.

       To start analysis, select one or more LSM disk  and  volume  icons  and
       then  select  Start  from the Analyze menu.  Select Parameters from the
       Analyze menu to specify user preferences for analysis. For example, you
       can  specify  the cutoff values for coloring or patterning of the icons
       under analysis.

       When an icon is under analysis, you can display the Analysis Statistics
       form  for that icon by clicking the MB3 button on the icon. Because the
       MB3 button is normally used to access an icon's	properties  form,  use
       the  Shift-MB3 button to access the properties form of an icon undergo‐
       ing analysis instead.

       See the manual Logical Storage Manager for more information on the Ana‐
       lyze menu.

   Projection
       Projection  is the technique that the Visual Administrator uses to show
       relationships between icons that represent LSM objects.	Projection  is
       illustrated  using color (deep pink is the default) or bitmap patterns.
       Projection highlights those objects that the selected  object  is  com‐
       posed  of  and  illustrates  the	 relationship between the objects. For
       example, if a volume is selected for projection, the corresponding sub‐
       disks  are highlighted within the volume icon and also on the appropri‐
       ate disk icons. If the selected icon has	 no  associated	 objects,  the
       Visual Administrator issues a warning to this effect.

       To  show	 the  projection of a particular icon, click the MB2 button on
       the icon while holding down the Shift key (Shift-MB2). To stop  projec‐
       tion,  press Shift-MB2 again. You can also start and stop projection by
       selecting an icon and then using the Icon  Projection  submenu  of  the
       Projection menu.

       Volume,	plex,  subdisk, and LSM disk icons can be selected for projec‐
       tion.  Projection does not apply to physical disk or partition icons.

       Projection may be requested in any view. When an icon is highlighted by
       projection,  all	 icons	representing  that  object in all view windows
       where it appears are highlighted.

       See the manual Logical Storage Manager for more information on  projec‐
       tion.

RESTRICTIONS
       The Disk Operations menu under the Basic Ops menu is not currently sup‐
       ported. For disk operations, use the disk menus under the Advanced  Ops
       menu.

X DEFAULTS
       This section lists X resources that can be used to configure the Visual
       Administrator according to personal  preferences	 and  system  require‐
       ments.

       The  Visual  Administrator  resources and associated preferences can be
       specified in your file. A file with default dxlsm entries is located in
       /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/DXlsm.	  The  entries	in  this file are com‐
       mented out. You can uncomment the lines that you want to enable.	 Refer
       also  to	 your X window system documentation on X resources for further
       information.

       The default values specified here correspond to those defaults compiled
       into  the  Visual  Administrator. Preferences specified in the system's
       app-defaults file may change these defaults.

       The entries in the file should take the following form:

       DXlsm*resource:	  value

       For example, the color used to represent a disabled icon can be altered
       from  the  default  color (light grey) to orange by editing the file to
       include the following line:

       DXlsm*disabledPixel:   orange

       The dxlsm-related resources can also be specified for a single  session
       only by invoking the Visual Administrator using the following syntax:

       dxlsm -xrm dxlsm*resource:   value

       The  default  values  can be changed according to user preferences. The
       resources are listed to the left	 with  their  default  values  to  the
       right. Each resource-value pair is followed by a brief description.

   Color Resources
       The following resources apply only when the Visual Administrator is run
       on a color monitor: The color of icons that have	 been  selected.   The
       color  of icons that are disabled and cannot be used by Visual Adminis‐
       trator (for example, detached plexes).  The color of  icons  that  have
       been  selected  when an error occurs (for example, incorrectly selected
       icons).	The color of subdisk icons that are free  (unassociated)  when
       Show  Free  Subdisks  has  been turned on.  The color of icons that are
       projecting (displaying object relationships) when Icon  Projection  has
       been  turned  on	 for  that icon or a related icon.  The color of icons
       that have a low usage level (as	defined	 in  the  Analysis  Properties
       Form) when analysis has been turned on for that icon or a related icon.
       The color of icons that have a medium usage level (as  defined  in  the
       Analysis	 Properties  Form)  when  analysis has been turned on for that
       icon or a related icon.	The color of icons  that  have	a  high	 usage
       level  (as  defined  in the Analysis Properties Form) when analysis has
       been turned on for that icon or a related icon.	When  True  is	speci‐
       fied,  the  Visual  Administrator  is  forced  to operate in monochrome
       (black and white) mode, whether or not a color monitor is being used.

   Monochrome Resources
       The following resources apply only when the Visual Administrator is run
       on  a  monochrome  monitor: The bitmap pattern for icons that have been
       selected.  The bitmap pattern for icons that are disabled and cannot be
       used  by	 the Visual Administrator (detached plexes, for example).  The
       bitmap pattern for icons that have been selected when an	 error	occurs
       (incorrectly selected icons, for example).  The bitmap pattern for sub‐
       disk icons that are free (unassociated) when  Show  Free	 Subdisks  has
       been turned on.	The bitmap pattern for icons that are projecting (dis‐
       playing object relationships) when Icon Projection has been  turned  on
       for  that  icon	or  a related icon.  The bitmap pattern for icons that
       have a low usage level (as defined in  the  Analysis  Properties	 Form)
       when  analysis has been turned on for that icon or a related icon.  The
       bitmap pattern for icons that have a medium usage level (as defined  in
       the Analysis Properties Form) when analysis has been turned on for that
       icon or a related icon.	The bitmap pattern for icons that have a  high
       usage  level (as defined in the Analysis Properties Form) when analysis
       has been turned on for that icon or a related icon.

   Icon Resources
       The following resources relate to icons: When True is specified, volume
       icons  will be minimized when created, by default.  When True is speci‐
       fied, plex icons will be minimized when created, by default. This  fea‐
       ture  is	 useful	 to  display  structures  within  volumes, but to hide
       details about the subdisk structure that makes up the plex.  When  True
       is  specified,  disk  icons will be minimized when created, by default.
       When True is specified, physical disk icons will be minimized when cre‐
       ated, by default.  When True is specified, icons selected for an opera‐
       tion are automatically deselected when the operation completes.	If set
       to  False, icons are remain selected until the user decides to deselect
       them, making it possible to perform multiple operations on the same set
       of selected icons.

   Miscellaneous Resources
       The  following  are miscellaneous dxlsm-related resources: The color in
       which all foreground items are displayed.  This	typically  applies  to
       icon  outlines  and  text.  The color that serves as the background for
       all windows in the Visual Administrator.	 When  True  is	 specified  to
       IsvalHelp,  the Visual Administrator displays a help message (including
       command line option usage information) in a window at program start up.
       This is the title of the application's root window.  This describes the
       font to be used for all text within the Visual Administrator.  Use this
       to  specify the number of command silos supported.  A command silo is a
       set of sequentially dependent commands (like file system	 create,  fol‐
       lowed  by  file	system	mount).	  A  larger number of silos supports a
       larger number of concurrent  operations	that  can  be  run,  but  also
       requires	 the Visual Administrator to use more memory.  Use commandHis‐
       torySize to specify the number of commands that the Visual  Administra‐
       tor  should  remember and display in the history portion of the Command
       Info Window.  Use defaultViewWindow to specify the  name	 of  the  disk
       group  to be popped up by default when the Visual Administrator is run.
       Use chkMntptInterval to specify	how  often,  in	 seconds,  the	Visual
       Administrator should check the system mount table to accurately display
       information about mounted file systems.	 When  True  is	 specified  to
       twoButtonMouse, the Visual Administrator remaps the mouse buttons for a
       two button mouse.

   Window Adjustments
       On small displays  (such	 as  those  with  a  graphical	resolution  of
       640x480),  some windows or forms may be too long to fit entirely on the
       screen and the bottom area of these windows/forms may not  be  visible.
       If  this	 is  the  case, the window manager's move function (ALT-F7, by
       default) can be used to move the window or form so that all  areas  and
       form buttons are visible.

       Another	technique that may allow forms to fit better on a small screen
       is to start up dxlsm as follows:

       # dxlsm -xrm dxlsm*propertiesForm*marginHeight: 1

       This resource specification causes forms to appear shorter than normal.
       To  achieve  similar  results,  you can add the following lines to your
       $HOME/.Xdefaults file:

       dxlsm*propertiesForm*marginHeight: 1  dxlsm*propertiesForm*marginWidth:
       1
