The Management/Annotations page enables you to create annotations in Unified Manager that can be used to annotate storage objects, or you can edit or delete annotations. You can either manually annotate storage objects with an annotation=value pair or configure annotation rules. Storage objects are annotated dynamically based on the annotation you apply.
When you log in as an operator, you will have only read access to the page. You can access the add, edit, or delete buttons in each tab when you log in as a storage administrator or Unified Manager administrator.
The Annotations tab enables you to view, create, edit, or delete annotations in Unified Manager.
You can view the following details of the selected annotation:
