displays, click the task you want to perform, or close the window to view the Array Manager Console.
Array Manager Console
The Array Manager console display uses a tree view to display storage objects in the left pane of the window and tabbed
views in the right pane to display additional information about storage objects. The following subsections provide more
information about the left and right panes.
Left Pane
The left pane shows objects that the Array Manager software detects. The major storage objects are the local system
object, arrays, disks, and volumes. By clicking the plus sign (+) in front of a storage object, you can see the subordinate
storage objects under that object.
Disks represent the disks recognized by the Microsoft Windows Powered operating system.
Volumes include dynamic RAID volumes created in Array Manager, primary and extended partitions, and logical
drives associated with extended partitions.
My Network Places, History, and Favorites provide remote connection functionality not supported by the
PowerVault 715N system and should be ignored.
Right Pane
The right pane identifies the various objects and their status and displays any error conditions that might exist. The four
tabbed views in the right pane include the following:
The General tab displays parameters based on the objects you select in the console's tree view.
The parameters for Disks are as follows:
Name is the name of the object.
Status can vary, depending on the object. Common status conditions are Online, Healthy, and
Resynching.
Type identifies the object, such as Dynamic Disk.
Disk Group shows an entry for disks in a basic or dynamic group.
Capacity is the maximum size of the disk.
Unallocated Space is the amount of free hard-drive space still available.
Graphical Layout is a graphical representation of how much of the disk is being used.
Progress shows the current progress (percentage of completion) for tasks.
Device is the type of disk: All of the drives on the NAS system are IDE drives. However, two of the drives
will appear in Array Manager as SCSI drives. This is a design issue that will be addressed in a later release.
Port identifies the controller card. A SCSI port has zero or more target IDs, and a target ID has one or more
logical unit numbers (LUNs).
LUN is the logical unit number.
Target is the SCSI ID that uniquely identifies the disk on the controller card.
Vendor identifies the vendor on hardware objects.
The parameters for Volumes are as follows:
Name is the name of the object.
Status can vary, depending on the object. Common status conditions are Online, Healthy, and
Resynching.
