Dashboard/Physical View/Logical View
The left panel of the MegaRAID Storage Manager window displays the Dashboard view, the Physical view, or the Logical view of the system and the attached devices, depending on which tab is selected.

The Dashboard view shows an overview of the system and covers the following features, as shown in Figure 8:
Figure 7 Dashboard View for IR
Figure 8 Dashboard View for the WarpDrive Card
Figure 9 Dashboard View for the IT Controller
NOTE All references to Virtual Drives are removed in the IT controller because it does not support RAID action.
The Physical view shows the hierarchy of physical devices in the system, as shown in Figure 10. At the top of the hierarchy is the system, followed by the controller and the backplane. One or more controllers are installed in the system. The controller label identifies the controller, such as the MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i controller, so that you can easily differentiate among multiple controllers. Each controller has one or more ports. Drives and other devices are attached to the ports. The properties for each item appear in the right panel of the screen.

The Logical view shows the hierarchy of controllers, virtual drives, drives, and drive groups that make up the virtual drives, as shown in Figure 12. The properties for these components appear in the right panel.
