Managing Controllers
The RAID controllers are the heart of the VTrak subsystem. VTrak E-Class
models have one or two controllers. Management of Controllers includes the
following functions:
• Viewing the Controllers (page 120)
• Locating a Controller (page 120)
• Viewing Controller Information (page 121)
• Viewing Controller Statistics (page 122)
• Making Controller Settings (page 122)
• Clearing an Orphan Watermark (page 124)
Viewing the Controllers
To view information about the controllers:
1. Click the Subsystem icon in Tree View.
2. Click the Controllers icon.
The controller information appears under the Information tab in Management
View. Controller information includes:
• Controller ID – 1 or 2
• Alias – if assigned
• Model – if applicable
• Status – OK means normal. Also shows BGA running. Not present
indicates a malfunction or no controller is installed
• Readiness Status – Active or Standby is normal. N/A means not
accessible
• Locate – Click the button to locate the controller. See below
VTrak subsystems with only one controller will always show that the second
controller is “Not present.”
If your VTrak subsystem has two controllers and one is “Not present,” see
“Controller Enters Maintenance Mode” on page 345 for more information.
Locating a Controller
