To unhide a storage or device location, do the following:
- Click to highlight its row on the Affinity tab.
- Click Remove.
- To apply a change and continue editing user preferences settings, click Apply.
- To accept any changes and close the dialog box, click OK. The dialog box closes.
- Restart the GV STRATUS application for these changes to take effect.
After specific storage or device location had been hidden, take note of the
following:
- The selected storage or device location is now filtered out and not displayed in the GV STRATUS application.
- Assets whose only online association is now filtered out will have no online association. Those assets display with the red X icon and red indicator in the asset status column.
- Assets who have multiple online associations, and the primary physical association is filtered out will use the next online association as primary association.
- Searches are not affected as it is still possible to search for assets that have an association on a particular device, even if the returned asset appears to have no online association.
