Tip: You can drag the bar between the Physical devices view and Logical devices
view to adjust the size of each pane.
In the Physical devices view, four indicators report status of the fan, battery,
temperature, and power modules on SAF-TE (enclosure management) devices and
other devices that monitor these conditions. The indicator is blue for normal,
yellow for warning, and red for error; the indicator is grayed out if none of the
devices on the controller monitor the condition. Example: the fan indicator changes
to yellow when one fan fails; it changes to red when a second fan fails and cooling
is no longer adequate.
In the Logical devices view, use the buttons to create and delete arrays and logical
drives. The Create option (
) opens a wizard that presents the steps necessary to
create a new array.
Other buttons in the Logical devices view allow you to:
v Change the way configuration information is displayed
v Collapse and expand configuration information
v Identify components of an array or logical drive
You can also create and delete hot-spare drives.

Detail window opens. This window contains the same information as the event
viewer, but in a larger, easier-to-read window. Some events have additional details

log file, RAIDEVT.LOG. If this file exceeds 200 KB, the ServeRAID Manager copies
