Working with the Layout Grid Manager
The Layout Grid Manager allows you to view layout grids showing patterns of physical
disk, logical disk, virtual volume, and Common Provisioning Group (CPG) usage. These grids
can be used to monitor resource allocation.
Note: Logical disk information only appears if you have set your preferences
in the InForm Management Console to display logical disk information. See
Setting Global Preferences.
The following topics discuss each layout grid:
Viewing Layout Information for All InServs

The following figure describes the structure of each layout grid:
All types of chunklet grid screens share the same basic features:
The far left column lists all physical disks in the storage server using the format:
<cage_ID>:<magazine_position>:<disk_position>
<cage_ID> can be 0 (left side of the drive chassis) or 1 (right side of the drive
chassis).
<magazine_position> can be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
<disk_position> can be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, where 0 is the position closest to the
backplane.
