# View the iSCSI dashboard

Unisphere provides monitoring and management for Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) directors, iSCSI ports, iSCSI endpoints, IP interfaces, and IP routes.

## About this task

The iSCSI dashboard provides you with a graphical view of the relationship between an iSCSI director and its associated iSCSI ports, iSCSI endpoints, IP interfaces, and IP routes. From the dashboard, you can monitor and manage iSCSI directors, iSCSI ports, iSCSI endpoints, IP interfaces, and IP routes.

To view the iSCSI dashboard:

## Steps

1. Select a storage system.
2. Select System > iSCSI to open the iSCSI dashboard.
   The following panels display:
   - iSCSI Directors—A panel displaying the following information:
     - The overall number of relationships between the iSCSI objects (iSCSI Directors, unattached iSCSI endpoints, attached iSCSI endpoints, iSCSI Ports, IP Routes, and IP Interfaces). Clicking an item opens the associated list view.
     - The list of iSCSI directors. An icon that is based on the alerts for the director represents the status of the iSCSI director. Clicking All Items results in the relationship panel displaying all the iSCSI Directors. Selecting a specific director results in an update to relationship panel to display director information for the selected director.
   - Actions—A panel with the following controls:
     - Create iSCSI Endpoint— Create an iSCSI endpoint
