encountered.
Unit Information page
Figure 90. Unit Information Page
The Unit Information page appears when you choose Information > Unit
Information
from the menu bar, or when you click an ID number on the
Controller Summary page.
This page shows a list of the units on the current controller and provides
summary information about each unit.
To see details about a particular unit, click the link in the Unit # column.
Unit #. The unit number assigned to the unit by the firmware. For 9000-series
controllers, unit numbers are in sequential order.
Name. If a name has been given to this unit, it shows here. If it is empty, no
name has been assigned. You can name your unit in the
Unit Names section
of the
Management > Controller Settings page.
Type. The type of unit, specified during configuration: RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50, Single Disk, JBOD, or Spare. For
details about each of the RAID levels, see “Available RAID Configurations”
on page 5.
Capacity. The logical capacity (size) of the unit. 1KB = 1024 bytes.
Note: 3DM 2 displays the capacity (in MBytes or GBytes) the same way that
Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems do: as 1KB = 1024 bytes. Previous
versions of 3DM 1.x used the 1KB = 1000 bytes definition. Consequently capacities
of units listed under 3DM v 1.x may appear to be larger than they do under 3DM 2.
