To view the detailed LDEV information:
1. Log in to Device Manager as a system administrator, storage administrator, or guest.
2. Select and expand the Subsystems object in the navigation frame, and then select the desired storage
subsystem (refer to

3. Select the Physical View button to open the physical view of the storage subsystem, and then open the
LDEV Information panel as follows:
• For StorageWorks XP1024/XP128, select the VIEW button for the desired frame, select the desired
parity group on the Frame Information (level 1) panel, select the desired array group on the Frame

• For StorageWorks XP512/XP48, select the VIEW button for the desired frame, select the desired
array group on the Frame Information panel, and then select the desired array group.
4. The LDEV Information panel consists of the following three display areas:
• LDEV List (upper left): Displays a list of logical devices in the selected array group. Select the desired
LDEV in this list to display the detailed LDEV information.
Each LDEV row displays the LDEV number and size (MB, fractional portion truncated). If a path has
been set, the port is also displayed. If the LDEV is part of a LUSE volume, the following is displayed:
