ABSTRACT:
A resource manager (e.g., a computer, a software application, etc.) initiates display of a list of managed objects associated with respective resources in a storage area network. The resource manager then receives a command from a user viewing the list to display view mode options associated with a set of two or more selected managed objects in the list. In response to receiving the command, the resource manager initiates display of a menu of view mode options that can be applied to each of the two or more managed objects in the set. The menu provided by the resource manager excludes any view mode options that pertain only to one of the managed objects or fewer than all managed objects in the set. Common view modes that can be applied to all managed objects in the set appear in the menu for selection by the user.
