For example, if you select a controller icon in the left panel, the
Properties tab lists information about the controller, such as the
controller name, NVRAM size, and device port count. For more
information, see
Section 9.3, “Monitoring Controllers,” Section 9.4,
“Monitoring Drives,” and Section 9.6, “Monitoring Virtual Drives.”

The Operations tab lists the operations that can be performed on the
device that you select in the left panel. For example, Figure 7.4
shows the options that are available when you select a controller.
These include enabling or silencing the alarm and running a Patrol
Read. Some types of devices, such as drive groups and ports, do
not have operations associated with them. For more information, see
