  and the HP Storage Manager subsystem (such as pools, logical devices, hot-spare
  drives, and physical drives). </p>
<p>To view information, click an object in the <a href="cusegui3.htm">Enterprise
  view</a> or the <a href="cusegui4.htm">Physical or Logical device views</a>;
  then, click <img src="images/l_prop.gif" width="28" height="28" align="absbottom">
  &nbsp;(Properties) on the toolbar. Using <a href="adispopt.htm">preferences</a>, you
  can sort tree objects alphabetically or chronologically.
<p><b><img src="images/note.gif" width="15" height="17"> Note:</b> The local system
  always appears first when you sort the tree alphabetically.
<p>To display available actions for an item, right-click the item in the Enterprise
  view, Physical devices view, or Logical devices view.

  to modify or monitor other HP Storage Manager systems in a network:
