Physical View

The Physical View is one of two Subsystem Management Window views. The Physical View:

Note: The orientation of the Physical View is determined by actual layout of the controller. For example, if the controller has horizontal drive enclosures, the software will show horizontal drive enclosures in the Physical View.

The Physical View displays four enclosure types:

Controller Enclosure (shown above) Displays either one or two controller slots and a controller enclosure components button.

Note: You can select each controller in the controller enclosure to perform controller management operations.
Drive Enclosure (shown above) Displays the drives or drive slots in the enclosure and one components button. An empty slot is shown with this icon .

Combination Enclosure Contains a representation of both controllers and drives in the same enclosure, and an enclosure components button.
Generic Enclosure Shown as a number of drive slots, when information about the enclosure type is not received from the controller.
