MegaRAID Storage Manager Window 7-5
7.2.1 Physical/Logical View Panel
The left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window displays either
the
Physical view or the Logical view of the system and the devices in it,
depending on which tab is selected.
•
The Physical view shows the hierarchy of physical devices in the
system. At the top of the hierarchy is the system itself. One or more
controllers are installed in the system. The controller label identifies
the MegaRAID controller, such as the MegaRAID SAS 8708ELP
controller, so that you can easily differentiate between multiple
controllers. Each controller has one or more ports. Drives and other
devices are attached to the ports.
•
The Logical view shows the hierarchy of controllers, virtual drives,
and drive groups that are defined on the system. (Drives also appear
in the
Logical view, so you can see which drives are used by each
virtual drive.)
The following icons in the left panel represent the controllers, drives, and
other devices:
•
