The Logical view shows the hierarchy of controllers, virtual disks, and disk
groups that are defined on the system. (Physical drives also appear in the Logical
view, so you can see which physical drives are used by each virtual disk.)
The following icons in the left panel represent the controllers, disk drives, and other
devices:
•
System
•
Controller
•
Port
•
Array
•
Virtual disk
•
Physical drive
A red circle to the right of an icon indicates that the device has failed.
A yellow circle to the right of an icon indicates that a device is running in a degraded
state. Properties/Operations/Graphical View Panel
The right panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window has either two or three
tabs, depending on what kind of device is selected in the left panel.
•
The Properties tab displays information about the selected device. For example,
if a controller icon is selected in the left panel, the Properties tab lists information
such as the controller name and the device port count.
•
The Operations tab lists the operations that can be performed on the device that
is selected in the left panel. Some types of devices, such as arrays and ports,
do not have operations associated with them.
•
The Graphical View tab can be selected in the right panel if a physical drive
or virtual disk is selected in the left panel. In graphical view, the device's stor-
age capacity is color coded according to the legend shown on the screen. For
example, on a physical drive configured space is blue, available space is white,
and reserved space is red.
