Chapter 2: RAID configuration

Properties View Panel

The right panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window has the Properties

tab that displays information about the selected device. For example, if a controller

icon is selected in the left panel, the Properties tab lists information such as the

controller name, NVRAM size, and device port count.

Event Log Panel

The lower part of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window displays the system

event log entries. New event log entries appear during the session. Each entry has

an ID, a timestamp and date, an error level indicating the severity of the event, and

a brief description of the event.

Menu Bar

Here are brief descriptions of the main selections on the MegaRAID Storage

Manager menu bar.

Manage Menu

The Manage menu has an Exit option for exiting from the MegaRAID

Storage Manager software. It also has a Refresh option for updating the

display in the MegaRAID Storage Manager window. (Refresh is seldom

required; the display normally updates automatically.)

The Manage menu options also include Check Consistency, Initialize, and

Show Progress.
Go To Menu

The Go To menu is available when a controller, physical drive, or virtual disk

is selected in the MegaRAID Storage Manager window. The Go To menu

options vary depending on what type of device is selected in the left panel of

the MegaRAID Storage Manager window. For example, the Scan Foreign

Configuration option is available only when a controller is selected. The

options also vary depending on the current state of the selected device. For

example, if you select an offline physical drive, the Make Drive Online option

will be available in the Go To menu.
Log Menu

The Log menu includes options for saving and clearing the message log.
Tools Menu

On the Tools menu you can select Configure Alerts to access the Event

Configuration Notification screen, which you can use to set the alert delivery

rules, event severity levels, exceptions, and email settings.
