This screen provides an online view of the storage-area
device information local to a particular database. The Device
Information screen has the following capabilities:
o Displays real-time information about all devices accessed by
the database.
o Displays information for devices on which the database root
file and storage areas (live and snapshot) reside.
o Displays information about all database root files and storage
areas except for AIJ, ACE, or RUJ devices.
When there is more than one page of the Device Information
screen, the header section contains the page number currently
displayed and the total number of pages in the screen. Use the
left angle bracket (<) key to go to the previous page and the
right angle bracket (>) key to go to the next page of the screen.
