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 2308

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:
