10.1 Physical tab

The Physical tab (Figure 10-1) shows the organization of the storage subsystem by
controllers, disk drives, and other hardware components. This tab is divided into two panes:
the Physical pane on the left and the Properties pane on the right.
Figure 10-1 The Physical tab
The Physical pane shows a graphical representation of the physical components in the
storage subsystem, such as the controller modules and the drive expansion enclosures. You
can configure some hardware related parameters here.
The Properties pane displays detailed information about the component that is selected in
the Physical pane. As in Logical tab, the Properties pane shows the same information which
you can find in storage subsystem profile.
Because there is nothing to configure in the Properties pane, we will focus on the Physical
pane in the following sections:
10.2, "Discover component properties and location" on page 265
10.3, "Set hot spare drive" on page 268
10.4, "Failed disk drive replacement" on page 272
10.5, "Set preferred loop ID" on page 275
10.6, "Set remote access" on page 276
10.7, "Set Ethernet management ports" on page 276
13.4, "Configure iSCSI Host Ports" on page 325
The other configuration options in the Physical pane are already described in different
chapters and we will provide the references as needed
