Overview

With the ASM Cfg snap-in, you can manage the data that is related to servers and some configuration settings of the ASM. For example, the servers that are currently in use.

The snap-in uses a two-pane view that is similar to the Windows Explorer. The console tree is used for navigation and selection and represents the hierarchical structure in which the data are stored. This tree appears in the left pane, which is called the Scope pane. The Detail or List pane on the right shows the content of what you select in the Scope pane.

The console tree contains nodes and items. Nodes are composite and consist of other nodes or items. You can compare nodes to the folders in the Windows Explorer.

Items are components at the lowest level of the console tree, which do not contain other elements. Items are similar to the files in the Windows Explorer.

Items are only visible in the Detail pane. All items have properties or attributes that are displayed as columns in the detail pane. To adjust the column width, you can drag the margins of a column with the mouse. To sort a column, click the column’s header. On the View menu, click Choose Columns to select the properties that you require.
