Physical Devices View
This view displays information about the drives, enclosures, and other physical devices 
attached to the controller. The devices are organized numerically. The display for each channel 
or port includes information on maximum speed, the number of the channels on the 
controller, and the number of devices attached to the controller.
Indicators, next to the controller name, report status of the fan and temperature modules on 
SAF-TE (enclosure management) devices and other devices that monitor these conditions. The 
indicator colors are:
Blue—Normal
Yellow—Warning
Red—Error
Gray—Not applicable to the devices. 
For example, the fan indicator changes to yellow when one fan fails; it changes to red when a 
second fan fails and cooling is no longer adequate.
Logical Devices View
This view displays information about the logical devices created using the physical devices, 
including the number of logical devices, the RAID level of each device, and whether a logical 
device is protected by a hot spare. 
You can create and delete logical devices in the Logical devices view by selecting the Create 
option and using the Create wizard.

indicated by a gray cap at the end of each bar.
Note: 
Note: A drive shaded in light blue is not part of any disk
