3.5.1 Using the RAID View Window

After starting RAIDWatch Manager, choosing a RAID to manage, and entering the right password to get access, the RAIDWatch Manager main RAID View window appears on the screen. All configuration operations pertaining to the disk array system will be performed within RAID View.

Basics

When RAID View first opens, the Navigation panel in the upper left quadrant of the window will display icons for the controller, Logical View, and Physical View. The large Contents panel to the right will display an Introduction with access buttons for Configuration, Logical View, and Physical View. Each of these primary function windows will be described below and in detail in Chapter 4.

The following describes the various control and display components found in the RAID View window:

1. The menu bar displays the available menus. All menus provide a list of commands for invoking various disk array and display-related operations. Most commonly used commands such as Statistics and Event Log also have command buttons to facilitate their execution. You can either select the command from the menu, or click on its toolbar command button. For a summary of commands, see Appendix A, Command Summary.

2. RAIDWatch Manager provides command buttons to execute most commonly used commands. These buttons are displayed on the toolbar. The following figure displays the command buttons on the toolbar:

3. The Connect command button is used for connecting to a disk array system. This button has the same function as the Connect command under the File menu.
