Status. Indicates whether the device is Up or Down. In addition to
using an Up or Down label, the color green indicates that the item is
okay, orange indicates that the item is in an unprotected state (for
example, initializing), and red indicates that the item is unavailable
(for example, a disk is missing).

Note:

This status is different from that which is shown on the Physical

Volume Management page. For example, if you switch from a JBOD
configuration to a RAID 5 configuration, the status of the two device
IDs on the summary page will be Up, while the status for the two
volumes on the Physical Volume Management Page will be
INITIALIZING.

or as a virtual LTO-2 tape drive. If you create a Tape Device or

column. If you use the ShareDevice feature, Disk appears in italic
formatting.

Reviewing the Initiator Summary Page

The Initiator Summary page provides an immediate view of the initiators
(systems) that you have defined for the REO Devices. For each initiator,
this page shows information such as which devices (targets) it is
associated with and the type of connection.

The following image shows the initiators for a RAID configuration using
logical volumes on an FC-enabled appliance.

Tip:

To access the Initiator Configuration page for a specific initiator,

click the applicable Initiator Name. To access the REO Device
Configuration page for a specific device, click the applicable REO
Device ID.
