Introducing the GVG Disk Utility
This section includes the following:
• GVG Disk Utility user interface overview
• Checking storage subsystem status
GVG Disk Utility user interface overview
The GVG Disk 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 storage system connected. 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:
RAID Controller Model
- Provides a logical grouping of RAID chassis models, i.e.
all PFR500 RAID Controller Chassis connected are listed under the PFR500 icon.
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 LUNs
- Expanding the Bound node displays all bound LUNs.
LUN
- Represents a bound LUN. Expanding the LUN node displays the disk
modules that make up the LUN.
UnBound disks
- Expanding the UnBound node, displays all unbound disk
modules.
Disks
- Represents the disk modules.
