About searching for objects
In the Management Server console, you can use the Search button on the menu bar to search for the main objects in the following perspectives:
| Server | The objects include Host and related objects such as Disk Group, Disk, Volume, Snapshot, RVG, Enclosure, and Initiator. You |
|---|---|
| can also search for other objects available in this | |
| perspective, including Database, Exchange Server, and Package. | |
| Availability | The objects include Cluster and related objects such as Service Group, System, and Resource. |
| Storage | The objects may include Enclosure, Array Port, |
| LUN/LDEV, RAID Group, Fabric, Switch, Physical Disk, Thin Pool, | |
| Storage Rank, Share, Storage Volume, and Qtree. The | |
| available objects depend on which add-ons are installed. For | |
| example, fabric and switch objects require Fabric Insight Add-on. | |
| Virtualization | The objects include Virtualization Server, Virtual Machine, |
| and Datastore. |
For each object search you can specify one or more parameters using an attribute, a condition (operator), and a value. The predefined attributes change depending on the selected object type.

You can create searches for commonly viewed objects and save the searches for later use. For the primary object in a perspective, such as hosts in the Server perspective, you also have the choice to save search queries as Smart Folders in the tree.
