Device Configurations
Use the Hardware Editor Device Configurations page to create, copy, modify, and delete hardware device configurations in the hardware library.
Device configuration icons indicate whether and how you can manipulate a configuration.
- A locked icon indicates that the device configurations are system-defined and cannot be deleted.
- An in-use icon indicates that you can modify the device configurations, but cannot delete them until the configuration is no longer in use by a capacity model. If you modify a configuration that is in-use by a capacity model, the hardware configuration change you make is applied to the corresponding item used in the capacity model.
You can take any action on a configuration without an icon.
The following elements appear on the Device configurations page.
- View: CPU
Displays all CPU devices in the hardware library and the properties of the selected device.
- View: Single Disk
Displays all disk devices in the hardware library and the properties of the selected device.
- View: Disk Array
Displays all disk arrays in the hardware library and the properties of the selected device.
- New Device
Creates a new hardware profile for the selected view.
- Copy device
Copies the selected device to the hardware library.
- Properties of the device
Displays the properties of the hardware device. Properties displayed vary depending on the currently selected device.
- Add Disk
When the Disk Array view item is selected, enables the Add Disk option so you can add disk devices to the disk array. You can add multiple disk groups. Each disk group can contain multiple disks, as indicated in the Disk Count column.
