Device Administration Dialog Box

Clicking the Device Administration button in the Device Allocation Manager main window causes the Device Administration dialog box to be displayed (see following figure). The Device Administration dialog box lets you select a device. Its state is then displayed. The buttons in the upper right of the dialog box let you perform operations on the selected device. Clicking the Revoke button moves the selected device from a busy (allocated) state to an available (deallocated) state. Clicking the Reclaim button lets you make available a device that is currently in an error state. The revoke or reclaim device authorization is required to use these buttons. Clicking the Delete button makes a device unavailable. Clicking the New or Configure buttons displays the Device Allocation Configuration dialog box.
