Two types of windows contain hierarchy views:
Domain view in the main console window, as illustrated in Figure 5–1
Browser view in the Details window, as illustrated in Figure 6–7
The administrative domain hierarchy view displays the administrative domain and its members.
The Browser hierarchy view displays the host and its modules. This view is part of the Browser Details window, which is described in Chapter 7, Browsing Information About a Managed Object.
Both the administrative domain hierarchy view and the Browser hierarchy view behave in the same manner. In both windows, the hierarchy view is on the left side of the window.
To view details about a host, double-click the host icon in the main console window.
To view the contents of a managed object, click the expansion icon to the left of the object icon.
The icon looks like a handle. The icon changes to a darker color, and the subordinate objects appear in the hierarchy view.
If an object has an expansion icon next to it, the object contains additional information. You can obtain more information about the object by examining its subordinate objects.
To view more information about a managed object, double-click the object icon.
If the managed object is a container icon, such as a domain or group object, and is not expanded, the icon changes to a darker color. The hierarchy view and the topology view expand to display the contents of the object.
If the managed object is a container icon and is expanded, the hierarchy view and the topology view compress so that the subordinate contents are removed.
If the managed object is a lowest-level icon, for example, a host, the Details window appears. This window provides more information about the managed object. For more information, see Chapter 6, Viewing Detailed Information About a Managed Object.
To access the pop-up menu for an object, press mouse button 3 on the object icon.
