1.2.2 Enclosure View
Figure 1-1: Enclosure View Window
The enclosure window shown in Figure 1-1 provides real-time reporting of
the status of enclosure components, including components that can be
accessed through the front or the rear side of an enclosure. When a drive
fails, the system highlights the corresponding LED icon of the failed drive
by changing its display color. When you remove a drive, its icon is removed
from the enclosure window. This feature is particularly useful in cases when
a drive fails, and you need to identify its exact location for subsequent
replacement.
The enclosure window also appears in other configuration windows showing
the logical relationship between the member drives of a logical
configuration. Drives belonging to the same logical drive will be displayed
in the same color. This allows you to easily identify members of different
configurations. To see a cascaded enclosure, single click on the “JBOD”
page on top of the enclosure graphic.
