MegaRAID Storage Manager Window
This section describes the MegaRAID Storage Manager window, which is shown in
the following figure.
Physical/Logical View Panel
The left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window displays either the
Physical view or the Logical view of the system and the devices in it, depending on
which tab is selected.
The Physical 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. The controller label identifies the MegaRAID controller,
such as the ASUS PIKE 2008 controller, so that you can easily differentiate
between multiple controllers. Each controller has one or more ports. Disk
drives and other devices are attached to the ports.
The Logical view shows the hierarchy of controllers, virtual disks, and disk
groups that are defined on the system. (Physical drives also appear in the
Logical view, so you can see which physical drives are used by each virtual
disk.)
The following icons in the left panel represent the controllers, disk drives, and other
devices:
