When you select a component in the Enterprise View, the disk drives
and logical drives (“devices”) associated with it appear in the Physical

Devices Views.
Using Physical Devices View
When you select a controller in the Enterprise View, information about
the physical disk drives connected to that controller appear in the
Physical Devices View.
Disk drives designated as hot spares have plus signs (+) beside them:
● A blue plus sign (shown at right) means that the spare is
protecting at least one logical drive.
● A hot spare with a yellow plus sign (shown at right) may not
be large enough to protect the logical drive it’s assigned to, or
may not be assigned to a logical drive.
See Working with Hot Spares on page 90 for more information.
