When arrays, logical drives, and hot spares have been defined, they are displayed here. Clicking on Logical View or Physical View switches between showing logical drives and physical drives.

Data loss may result if a second physical disk fails. ◊ Offline: Two or more physical disks in a redundant array (not RAID 0) or one or more physical disks in a RAID 0 array are not online. • Status line: The status line at the bottom of the window shows the progress of the scan required to build the displays on the HP NetRAID Assistant window.
