Storage Manager
On the left side of the window are the associated logical devices as
seen by the host computer.
Storage Manager displays the same icon for non-hard-drive devices
in both logical and physical views. Hard drives appear either as
individual drives or as members of arrays. In either case, the drive
or array is represented on the left side of the window as a Logical
Storage Unit (LSU). Arrays that make up a multilevel RAID are
displayed as RAID 1 or RAID 5 icons that appear between the LSU
icon on the left and the drives on the right.
Devices are displayed in order of device type, with all non-hard-
drive devices displayed first, followed by all hard drives not
assigned to an array, then hot spares, and finally all arrays by RAID
level.
