Managing Disk Drives

SMU provides a variety of functions related to disk drives.

Viewing Disk Drive Information

You can view two types of information about disk drives:
A list of all disk drives connected to the system
■
The status of all disk drives in a virtual disk
■
Viewing All Disk Drives
To view information about all disk drives connected to the system:
●
Select Monitor > Status > Advanced Settings > Disk Drive List.
For a description of the information contained on the Disk Drive List page, see
"Disk Drive List" on page 155.
Disk drives that are not members of any virtual disk are listed as Available. Drives
that contain leftover metadata from a previous virtual disk are listed as Leftover.
Leftover drives occur when drives are removed and reinserted, or fail temporarily
and are not operating as part of an online virtual disk.
To clear leftover metadata, use the Clear Metadata utility. See "Clearing Metadata
From Leftover Disk Drives" on page 136.
