Getting Started Step 3: Exploring Adaptec Storage Manager ● 40 Using the Physical Devices View When you select a controller in the Enterprise View, information about the physical disk drives and enclosures connected to that controller appear in the Physical Devices View. Controller 2 is connected to... ...28 disk drives. Controller 1 is connected to... ...2 enclosures (and 24 disk drives). Disk drives designated as hot spares have plus signs (+) beside them: ● A blue plus sign (shown at right) means that the spare is protecting at least one logical drive. ● A hot spare with a yellow plus sign (shown at right) may not be large enough to protect the logical drive it's assigned to, or may not be assigned to a logical drive. See Working with Hot Spares on page 81 for more information. Hold your cursor over any disk drive to see its status, port number, and maximum speed. You can also click the arrow, shown at right, to see this same information for all the disk drives at the same time. To reveal further information, use the View buttons to change how the disk drives are displayed, as described in Revealing More Disk Drive Information on page 42. A disk drive shaded in light blue is not part of any logical drive. A disk drive shaded half light/half dark blue (as shown at right) has some space allocated to a logical drive, and some space available. To view the logical drives associated with a particular disk drive, see Using the Logical Devices View on page 41. If your storage space includes an enclosure, its enclosure management device is represented by the icon shown at right.
