Viewing the Physical Disks Tab

To view the Physical Disk tab:
1.

Access the Physical Disks screen.

2.

Click the Physical Disks tab.

The Physical Disks tab can be filtered to display Summary, Capacity, Chunklet Usage, Inventory,
Environmental, State, and Paths information.

NOTE:

In the following sections, where shown, the Device RPM number does not represent a

rotational speed for the drives without spinning media (SSD). It is meant as a rough estimation of
the performance difference between the drive and the other drives in the system. For FC and NL
drives, the number corresponds to both a performance measure and actual rotational speed. For
an SSD drive, the number is to be treated as relative performance benchmark that takes into account
in I/O per second, bandwidth, and the access time.
