Using the Storage Window
Why Use the Storage Window?
The Storage window allows you to configure your storage subsystem. Use the
Storage window to do the following:
■ Configure the properties of the controller, host ports, and cache
■ Create the following RAID types:
— Striped device group (RAID 0)
— Mirrored device group (RAID 1)
— Striped mirrored device group (RAID 0+1)
— Striped parity device group (RAID 3/5)
— Individual device [JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks)]
■ View the status of virtual disks, communications LUN, and battery
Storage Window Display
HP recommends that you use a minimum of SVGA (800x600) display resolution.
The Storage window requires a minimum amount of screen space to properly
display its contents. When you use VGA display resolution, screen space becomes
more limited.
If you must use VGA resolution, consider the following suggestions:
■ You may not be able to see the scroll bars on the bottom of the display. You
can use the Storage window's menu settings to remove the toolbar from the
display to make room for the bottom scroll bars.
■ If you are using the Client with a 24-device, high-availability enclosure, it
may be easier to configure the subsystem if you set the system type to Generic
for configuration purposes. Return the setting to High-Availability 24-Device
Pedestal for monitoring and viewing.
