The disk unit GUI provided a graphical view of disk unit and control information on one set of screens. These screens included an image which highlighted the location of a single disk unit on a server. The view is also customizable. Users can control whether they see all disk units, all units in a disk pool or manually selected units. What's more, the image on the screen is hot.
Users can click on a disk unit to pop up a menu of potential actions.
The prompter will work on any command, including commands created by the customer. The GUI prompter is now included in the iSeries Toolbox for Java, so it's also available to customers who want to program the feature into their Java programs. DiCecco will tell you it's all that and more. You'd pay a lot of money for a network management GUI with similar function. The benefit to iSeries customers is that we're building this type of intelligent functionality into the operating system.
