Physical Drive View

The Physical Drive View shows all of the disk drives working under this
Controller.
To access Physical Drive View, click on the
screen will display.
ID – The Controller channel to which each disk drive is attached. Only channels
with a disk drive appear in the list. If you have a drive on a channel but it does not
show in Physical Drive View, something is wrong with the drive or there is a bad
connection.
Physical Drive Model – Refers to the drive manufacturer's identification.
Physical Drive Capacity – The total data storage size in gigabytes. Not the
available capacity.
Physical Drive Status – Refers to functional status of an individual disk drive.
• Functional means normal.
• Disk is being rebuilt means that this drive is the Target Drive of the rebuild
operation that is in progress.
• Disk Offline means this drive is not available for use due to an error.
Status – Refers to assignable status of an individual disk drive.
• Free means available for use in a logical drive.
• Assigned means that currently belongs to a logical drive.
• Error means not available due to a problem with this disk drive.
Note: If you assign a disk drive as a hot spare, its Assignment will still show Free,
since it does not yet belong to a logical drive.
