Abstract
Mechanisms and techniques provide a system for visualization of manageable network resources in a graphical user interface. The system displays a host element in a host display area, a storage element in a storage display area, and a connectivity element in a network display area of the network topology view on the display of the computerized device. The system displays the network display area in between the host display area and the storage display area. The system determines a coupling condition of the connectivity element in relation to at least one of the host element and the storage element and displays the coupling condition as a link on the display of the computerized device between the connectivity element and either or both of the host element and the storage element to which that coupling condition relates in order to visually convey the coupling condition to a user viewing the network topology view on the display of the computerized device.
