Physical/Logical View Panel

The left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window displays either
the Physical view or the Logical view of the system and the devices in it,
depending on which tab is selected.

The Physical view shows the hierarchy of physical devices in the
system. At the top of the hierarchy is the system itself. One or more
controllers are installed in the system. Each controller has one or
more ports. Disk drives and other devices are attached to the ports.

The Logical view shows the hierarchy of controllers, virtual disks, and
disk groups that are defined on the system. (Physical drives also
appear in the Logical view, so you can see which physical drives are
used by each virtual disk.)

The following icons in the left panel represent the controllers, disk drives,
and other devices:
