CHAPTER 4 Managing Disk Drives and Enclosures This chapter describes how to use SMU to manage a system's disk drives and enclosures. Topics covered in this chapter are: ■ "Managing Disk Drives" on page 135 ■ "Managing Enclosures" on page 142 Managing Disk Drives SMU provides a variety of functions related to disk drives. Viewing Disk Drive Information You can view two types of information about disk drives: ■ A list of all disk drives connected to the system ■ The status of all disk drives in a virtual disk Viewing All Disk Drives To view information about all disk drives connected to the system: ● Select Monitor > Status > Advanced Settings > Disk Drive List. For a description of the information contained on the Disk Drive List page, see "Disk Drive List" on page 155. Disk drives that are not members of any virtual disk are listed as Available. Drives that contain leftover metadata from a previous virtual disk are listed as Leftover. Leftover drives occur when drives are removed and reinserted, or fail temporarily and are not operating as part of an online virtual disk. To clear leftover metadata, use the Clear Metadata utility. See "Clearing Metadata From Leftover Disk Drives" on page 136. 135
