Chapter 5. Obtaining interface display details

The EVMS interfaces let you view more detailed information about an EVMS object than what is readily available from the main views of the EVMS user interfaces. The type and extent of additional information available is dependent on the interface you use. For example, the EVMS GUI provides more in-depth information than does the CLI.

The following sections show how to find detailed information on the region lvm/Sample Container/Sample Region, which is part of volume /dev/evms/Sample Volume (created in section 10.2).

5.1. Using the EVMS GUI

With the EVMS GUI, it is only possible to display additional details on an object through the Context Sensitive Menus, as shown in the following steps:

  1. Looking at the volumes view, click the "+" next to volume /dev/evms/Sample Volume. Alternatively, look at the regions view.

  2. Right click lvm/Sample Container/Sample Region.

  3. Point at Display Details... and click. A new window opens with additional information about the selected region.

  4. Click More by the Logical Extents box. Another window opens that displays the mappings of logical extents to physical extents.
