Working in the 3BM Screens Exception: Changes made to controller policies are saved when you leave the Policy screen. Pressing F8 is not required to save those changes. For more about changing policies, see "Setting the Auto Rebuild Policy" on page 91. Working in the 3BM Screens The main 3BM screen (Figure 29) shows the current configuration for the drives attached to your controller, and a list of any available drives. Unusable and incomplete drives are also shown. Figure 29. 3BM Main Display You will see one or more of the following sections in the main 3BM screen: • Available Drives lists any unconfigured drives that are not associated with an array, and hot spares. If this section does not appear, there are no available drives. Direct Attached lists the drives directly attached to the controller. Enclosure lists the drives attached through an enclosure. • Exportable Units lists the existing units and the drives contained in each unit. These are the units that will be available to the operating system when you boot your computer. If this section does not appear, no units have been configured. If you have more than one unit, the boot unit is the one at the top of the list. (You can change the order by highlighting a unit and pressing the PgUp or PgDn key.) • Unusable Arrays lists any RAID configuration missing too many drives to construct the unit. For example, a RAID 5 unit with two or more drives missing would appear in this list. www.3ware.com 63
