Overview of Storage Utility
The Storage Utility user interface includes a tree view in the left-hand pane, and a status information
area displayed in the right-hand pane. The tree view displays the hardware that make up the RAID
storage system. The context menus in the tree view are used to configure storage. The right-hand
status pane displays information about the item selected in the tree view. The tree view hierarchy
is as follows:
• Controllers in device - Provides a logical grouping of the RAID Controllers in a primary RAID
chassis.
• Controller - Represents the RAID Controllers found. These are numbered in the order discovered.
The controller icon represents both RAID Controller A and, if installed, RAID Controller B. To
determine if an optional RAID Controller B is installed, select the Controller icon in the tree
view, then examine the status pane for peer status.
• Bound Disks - Expanding the Bound node displays all bound disks.
• RANK - Represents a bound RANK. Expanding the RANK node displays the disk modules that
make up the RANK.
• UnBound disks - Expanding the UnBound node, displays all unbound disk modules.
• Disks - Represents the disk modules. The Storage Utility detects disks available and lists them
on the opening screen.
