You can access the disk device properties in Windows from either the Device Manager
(Figure 7-90 on page 455) or, in Windows 2008, by selecting Server Manager Storage
Disk Management. In the Disk Management window, select the disk to match from the lower
right pane, then right-click and select Properties. The disk properties window opens, as
shown in Figure 7-92 on page 456.

Using SM utilities to match disks
There are two commands provided by the Storage Manager to help you manage devices:
hot_add: Invokes a hardware rescan to search for new DS5000 attached devices.
SMdevices: Lists devices recognized by Windows, indicating DS5000 names and logical
volume names as configured in the DS5000. It is very helpful to relate Windows devices
with the logical drives set from Storage Manager.
