Using the Consistency Groups view

The Consistency Groups view shows all the consistency groups in the selected cluster. Use this view to quickly view information about a consistency group. By default, consistency groups are sorted by name in ascending alphabetical order. The arrow in the default sort column indicates the direction of the sort; ascending () or descending (). You can sort columns of data, select one or more consistency groups in the list, and show or hide properties in the view.
NOTE The default view shows both distributed and non-distributed consistency groups. To display only distributed consistency groups, see the View distributed consistency groups.
