Overview of Storage Utility
The Storage Utility user interface includes a tree view in the left-hand pane, and a
status information area displayed in the right-hand pane. The tree view displays the
hardware that make up the RAID storage system connected. The context menus in the
tree view are used to configure storage. The right-hand status pane displays
information about the item selected in the tree view. The tree view hierarchy is as
follows:
Controllers in device
- Provides a logical grouping of the RAID Controllers in a
primary RAID chassis.
Controller
- Represents the RAID Controllers found. These are numbered in the
order discovered. The controller icon represents both RAID Controller A and, if
installed, RAID Controller B. To determine if an optional RAID Controller B is
installed, select the Controller icon in the tree view, then examine the status pane
for peer status.
Bound Disks
- Expanding the Bound node displays all bound disks.
RANK
- Represents a bound RANK. Expanding the RANK node displays the disk
modules that make up the RANK.
UnBound disks
- Expanding the UnBound node, displays all unbound disk
modules.
Disks
- Represents the disk modules.
The Storage Utility detects disks available and lists them on the opening screen.
