The Subsystem Management Window has two views, a Logical View and a Physical View. To repartition the window, drag the splitter bar that divides the two views in the desired direction.
About the Logical View
The Logical View has five node types, as illustrated in the graphic below:
Node | Description | ||||||||||||
Storage Subsystem | This is the root node of the Logical View tree. The icon shown reflects the current Storage Subsystem status, as described
below.
|
||||||||||||
Array | This node represents a defined array in the Storage Subsystem. Child nodes include logical drive nodes and free capacity
nodes. The icon shown reflects the status (online or offline) of the array, as shown below.
|
||||||||||||
Logical Drive | This node represents a defined logical drive on the array represented by the parent array node.
The icon shown reflects the current logical drive status.
|
||||||||||||
Free Capacity | This node represents a contiguous chunk of capacity that is present on drives included in an array, but has
not been used to create logical drives. The capacity shown is RAID-factored to the defined RAID level of the array.
There are no status icons associated with this node. Note: If there is non-contiguous free capacity on the array, then there will be multiple free capacity nodes. |
||||||||||||
Unconfigured Capacity | This node represents Storage Subsystem capacity that has not been used to create arrays and logical drives. The capacity shown reflects the raw capacity of all unassigned drives. There are no status icons associated with this node. |

About the Physical View
The Physical View displays four enclosure types, two are illustrated in the graphic below.
![]() Note: The orientation (vertical or horizontal) of the Physical View is determined by the controller. |
The Physical View displays four enclosure types:
To change the enclosure order in the Physical View, use the Storage Subsystem >> Change Enclosure Order option. See Changing the Enclosure Order. |
About the Association Between the Logical and Physical View
Selection of a logical component causes an association icon to be displayed by the selected logical object and the appropriate physical
components.
