Managing Physical and Logical Drives
View Physical Drive Information
The HP NetStorage 6000 contains ten drive bays to host as many as ten
physical disk drives. Physical drives are used in groups of three to eight to
create RAID sets (logical drives). Physical drives are also used individually
as hot spares. A drive assigned as a hot spare automatically repairs a RAID
set when one of the drives in the set becomes damaged or is removed.
To examine and manage physical drives:
Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Storage tab, then select
Physical Drives.
A table displays the following drive information.
n
Slot assignment of each drive
n
Vendor or manufacturer of the drives
n
Product drive name
n
Revision level of the drive
n
Serial number of the drive
n
Drive capacity in Megabytes
n
Mapping of the Logical Drive associated with the physical drive
The table also shows the current status of each drive:
n

n

n

n

n

Note
The Actions button in the upper left corner lets you create logical drives
and assign hot spares.
