displayed.
● The Storage Configuration wizard has two options to create a Virtual disk - Basic and Advanced.
○ In the basic Virtual Disk wizard, you can quickly create a VD from a list of available RAID configurations. iDRAC will
automatically set the default values of the VD to streamline the process.
○ For the Advanced Virtual Disk wizard, you can select all the details of the VD. You can create a new volume for the VD or
select and existing volume.
● Each devices pages has new global actions that allow you to show related devices or preform group operations.
○ For example, you can choose physical disks and perform group operation such as Blink, Unblink, and Create Virtual Disk.
○ Also, you can view the Physical disk inventory and create a Virtual Disk by choosing the drives without having to navigate
away from the screen.
● Instead of the numerical value, the size of the physical disk is shown as a data visualization with values on the scale.
○ This gives you an idea of used and available space on the drive.
● You can filter disks based on the various physical disk properties.
○ The filtering properties are displayed so that the user knows what filtering is currently being applied.
