NOTE: On Dell PERC 5/i controllers and Dell PERC 6/i controllers, you can change virtual disk properties such as Read Policy, Write Policy, IO Policy, and Access Policy after the virtual disk has been created. For more information, see Changing Virtual Disk Properties. To display a graphical view of a virtual disk, click on a virtual disk icon in the left panel of the Dell SAS RAID Storage Manager and click the Graphical View tab. In Graphical View, the disk group (array) used for this virtual disk is shaded blue to show how much of the disk group capacity is used by this virtual disk. If part of the disk group is shaded white, this indicates that some of the capacity is used by another virtual disk. In a RAID 10 configuration, two disk groups are used by one virtual disk. Monitoring Rebuilds and Other Processes Dell SAS RAID Storage Manager allows you to monitor the progress of rebuilds and other lengthy processes in the Group Show Progress window. To open this window, select Group Operations -> Show Progress on the menu bar. Operations on virtual disks appear in the left panel of the Group Show Progress window, and operations on physical drives appear in the right panel. The following operations appear in this window. • Background initialization of a virtual disk (on Dell PERC 5/i controllers and Dell PERC 6/i controllers only) • Rebuild (see Rebuilding a Drive) • Consistency check (on Dell PERC 5/i controllers and Dell PERC 6/i controllers only) (see Running a Consistency Check) • Replace member (on Dell PERC 5/i controllers and Dell PERC 6/i controllers only) To abort any ongoing process, click the Abort button next to the status indicator. Click Abort All to abort all ongoing processes. Click Close to close the window. Monitoring System Events and Storage Devices 47
