Configuration Tasks - NEC Express 5800 Series User Manual

Configuration tasks

From the Configure screen, you can perform tasks related to controllers, arrays, physical drives, and logical
drives.
When a controller or device is selected, the tasks that appear are a subset of the total number of possible
tasks for the selected item. SSA lists or omits tasks based on the controller model and configuration. For
example, if the selected controller has no unassigned physical drives, Create Array is not an available task.
The following table lists all the possible tasks for every type of item.
