K2 Storage Utility Overview

The Storage Utility user interface includes a tree view in the left-hand pane, and a status information area displayed in the right-hand pane. The tree view displays the hardware that makes up the storage system connected. The context menus in the tree view are used to configure storage. The right-hand status pane displays information about the item selected in the tree view.

The tree view hierarchy is as follows:

Controllers in Device - Provides a logical grouping of RAID Controllers by device.

Controller - Represents the RAID Controllers found. These are numbered in the order discovered. The controller icon represents both RAID Controller A and, if installed, RAID Controller B. To determine if an optional RAID Controller B is installed, select the Controller icon in the tree view, then examine the status pane for peer status.

Bound LUNs - Expanding the Bound node displays all bound LUNs.

LUN - Represents a bound LUN. Expanding the LUN node displays the disk modules that make up the LUN.

UnBound disks - Expanding the UnBound node, displays all unbound disk modules.

Disks - Represents the disk modules. The Storage Utility detects disks available and lists them on the opening screen.
