2. Click and expand the name of the Directory Server whose partitions you wish to review in the tree-view frame of SMH.

   The targets and partitions for that Directory Server are listed in the detail-view frame and under the Directory Server name in the tree-view frame. Partitions are identified by the red square icon ().

   

Targets are initially listed by partition, in the order they appear in the Directory Server. You can change the sort order of the list by clicking on the arrows in the column headings of the table in the detail-view frame. If you click on an up arrow in the column heading, the display is sorted alphabetically by the contents in that column. If you click on a down arrow in the column heading, the display is sorted in reverse alphabetic order by the contents in that column.
