window ( Figure 5-5 ).
The following topics describe the panels and menu options that appear in this window.
Physical/Logical View Panel
The left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window displays either the P
HYSICAL
view or the L
OGICAL
view of the system and the devices in it, depending on which tab is
selected.
• The P
HYSICAL
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. Each controller has one or more ports. Disk drives and other devices are
attached to the ports.
• The L
OGICAL
view shows the hierarchy of controllers, virtual disks, and disk groups
that are defined on the system. (Physical drives also appear in the L
OGICAL
view, so
you can see which physical drives are used by each virtual disk.)
