Understanding Adaptec Storage Manager
Using the buttons in the Physical devices and Logical devices
views, you can:
■ Change how drives are displayed.
■ Collapse and expand a view.
■ Identify components of a logical device.
■ Create and delete hotspares.
Physical Devices View
This view displays information about the drives, enclosures, and
other physical devices attached to the controller. The devices are
organized numerically. The display for each channel or port
includes information on maximum speed, the number of the
channels on the controller, and the number of devices attached to
the controller.
Indicators, next to the controller name, report status of the fan and
temperature modules on SAF-TE (enclosure management) devices and
other devices that monitor these conditions. The indicator colors are:
■ Blue —Normal
■ Yellow —Warning
■ Red —Error
■ Gray —Not applicable to the devices.
For example, the fan indicator changes to yellow when one fan
fails; it changes to red when a second fan fails and cooling is no
longer adequate.
Logical Devices View
This view displays information about the logical devices created
using the physical devices, including the number of logical devices,
the RAID level of each device, and whether a logical device is
protected by a hotspare.
You can create and delete logical devices in the Logical devices
view by selecting the Create option and using the Create wizard.
