Abstract: A technique is disclosed for ending metro-clustering on metro volumes. The technique includes collecting a plurality of metrics that indicate respective characteristics associated with a metro volume. In response to receiving a request to end metro on the metro volume, the technique includes comparing the plurality of metrics with a database that associates multiple permutations of metrics with respective procedures for ending metro. The technique further includes identifying, based on the comparison, a target procedure having a permutation of metrics that matches the plurality of metrics and implementing the target procedure.

Abstract: In a storage system management device, a method for graphically displaying a component of a data storage system. The method includes mapping, by the storage system management device, each component of a set of components of the data storage system to at least one graphical image of the component, displaying, by the storage system management device, a tree table of the set of components of the data storage system, and outputting, by the storage system management device, at least one graphical image of a component of the set of components selected from the tree table.
