About viewing connectivity graphs
The Connectivity Graph window shows the connections from an object to its storage components. For example, for a host, you can view the host object linked to HBAs, with the HBAs linked to enclosures.
You can view connectivity graphs for the following objects on the Server and Storage perspectives.
