Viewing storage array logical components and associated physical components

You can view the logical components (virtual disks , disk pools, and disk groups) in a storage array, and then view the physical components (RAID controller modules, RAID enclosures, physical disks, and expansion enclosures) that are associated with a specific logical component.

1. To view the components, select the Storage & Copy Services tab.
   The object tree is displayed on the left, and the Properties pane is displayed on the right. The object tree provides a view of the components in the storage array in a tree structure. The components shown include the disk pools, the disk groups, the virtual disks, the free capacity nodes, and any unconfigured capacity for the storage array. The Properties pane displays detailed information about the component that is selected in the object tree.
2. To view the physical components that are associated with a component, perform one of these actions:
   • Right-click a component, and select View Associated Physical Components.
   • Select a component, and click View Associated Physical Components in the Properties pane.
   • Select a component, and from the menu bar, select Storage > Disk Pool > View Associated Physical Components.
   The associated physical components are displayed with a blue circle.
