MegaRAID Storage Manager Main Menu Screen

These topics describe the panels in the main MegaRAID Storage Manager main menu:

Dashboard/Physical View/Logical View

The left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window displays the Dashboard view, the Physical view, or the Logical view of the system and the attached devices, depending on which tab is selected.

The Dashboard view shows an overview of the system and covers the following features, as shown in Figure 4:

The Physical view shows the hierarchy of physical devices in the system, as shown in Figure 5. At the top of the hierarchy is the system itself, followed by the controller and the backplane. One or more controllers are installed in the system. The controller label identifies the MegaRAID controller, such as the MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i controller, so that you can easily differentiate between multiple controllers. Each controller has one or more ports. Drives and other devices are attached to the ports. The properties for each item appear in the right panel of the screen.

The Logical view shows the hierarchy of controllers, virtual drives, and the drives and the drive groups that make up the virtual drives, as shown in Figure 6. The properties for these components appear in the right panel.
