Assigning An Alias To The Disk Array - HP Surestore Disk Array 12h - And FC60 Advanced User's Manual

Interpreting Status Indicators
A common set of colored status indicators are used to convey the current operating status
of each disk array component. The colors are interpreted as follows:
Green The component is functioning normally. On a disk it also indicates that the
disk is part of a LUN.
Red The component has failed or is not installed.
Blue Used only for disks, indicates the disk is functioning normally and is a
member of the hot spare disk group.
White Used only for disks, indicates the disk is functioning normally and is a
member of the unassigned disk group.

Assigning an Alias to the Disk Array

If you have many disk arrays to manage, you may find it useful to assign an alias name to
the disk arrays to help you in identifying them. The naming strategy you use may reflect the
physical location of the disk array, or its function. For example, a disk array located in the
data center might be assigned an alias of data_center_1.
To assign an alias:
1. On the main SAM screen, double-click the Disks and File Systems icon.
2. On the Disks and File Systems screen, double-click the Disk Devices icon. The Disk
Devices list is displayed. There is an entry for each disk array controller.
3. Select a controller for the appropriate disk array from the Disk Devices list.
