What do the icons in the Physical Devices View mean?
The Logical Devices View
When you select a controller in the Enterprise View, information about the logical drives and
arrays associated with that controller appear in the Logical Devices View. (A
logical drive
is a
group of physical disk drives that your operating system recognizes as a single drive. For more
information, see
Understanding Logical Drives
on page 59
.)
The RAID level of a logical drive is indicated by the number inside the logical drive’s
icon. For instance, the logical drive shown at right has RAID 1. Logical drives protected
by hot spares have plus signs (+) beside them, as shown at right.
Hold your cursor over any logical drive to see its name, status, and size. You can also click
the arrow, shown at right, to view this same information for all the logical drives at once.
