The Storage Utility user interface includes a tree view in the left-hand pane, and a status information
area displayed in the right-hand pane. The tree view displays the hardware that makes up the storage
system connected. The context menus in the tree view are used to configure storage. The right-hand
status pane displays information about the item selected in the tree view. The tree view hierarchy
is as follows:

Controllers in Device — Provides a logical grouping of RAID Controllers by device.

Controller — Represents the RAID Controllers found. These are numbered in the order discovered.
The controller icon represents both RAID Controller A and, if installed, RAID Controller B. To
determine if an optional RAID Controller B is installed, select the Controller icon in the tree view,
then examine the status pane for peer status.

Bound LUNs — Expanding the Bound node displays all bound LUNs.

LUN — Represents a bound LUN. Expanding the LUN node displays the disk modules that make
up the LUN.

UnBound disks — Expanding the UnBound node, displays all unbound disk modules.

Disks — Represents the disk modules.

The Storage Utility detects disks available and lists them on the opening screen.
