9.9.7 Menu Bar/Go To Menu
The Go To menu has sub-menus like Controller, Drive Group, Physical Drive, Virtual
Drive, BBU, and so on.
Each of above sub-menu may have some or all items greyed out, unless controller,
physical, virtual drive, drive group, BBU or other storage object is selected. For example,
the Enable Alarm and Silence Alarm options are available only when a controller is
selected. The options also vary depending on the current state of the selected object. For
example, if an offline physical drive is selected, the Make Drive Online option is
displayed in the menu.
There is a general tip here that, most functions in the Go To menu are equal to right-
clicking the storage object selected in Physical or Logical view tab. For example,
selecting Go To | Controller | Create Virtual Drive, is equal to selecting the controller in
Physical (or Logical) tab, right-clicking it and choosing Create Virtual Drive.
