<h1>Using the HP Storage Manager interface &gt; Physical and Logical device views</h1>
<p>The Physical and Logical device views show the physical devices and logical
  devices connected to the controller.</p><br>
<table width="717" border="0">
  <tr valign="top">
    <td width="176">To view device information, click <img src="images/trexpnd.gif" width="15" height="11">
      in the <a href="cusegui3.htm">Enterprise view</a> to expand a managed system;
      then select a controller from the tree. Information in the device views
      varies depending on the controller type.</td>

  </tr>
</table>
<p>The <strong>Physical devices </strong>view (on the left) displays information
  about the drives, enclosures, and other devices attached to the controller.
  The devices are shown organized by the channel or port that they are connected
  to and shown in numerical order. The display for each channel or port includes
  information on maximum speed capability, the number of the channel on the controller,
  and the number of devices attached to the controller.</p>
<p>Four indicators, next to the controller name, report status of the fan, battery,
  temperature, and power modules on <a href="gsaf-te.htm">SAF-TE</a> (enclosure
  management) devices and other devices that monitor these conditions. The indicator
  is blue for normal, yellow for warning, and red for error; the indicator is
  grayed out if none of the devices on the controller monitor the condition. Example:
  the fan indicator changes to yellow when one fan fails; it changes to red when
  a second fan fails and cooling is no longer adequate.</p>
<p>The<strong> Logical devices </strong>view (on the right) displays information
  about the logical devices created using the physical devices. This information
  includes the number of logical devices, the RAID level of each device, and
  whether a logical device is protected by a hot spare drive. </p>
<p><strong><b><img src="images/note.gif" width="15" height="17"></b> Tip:</strong>
  You can drag the bar between the Physical devices view and Logical devices view
  to adjust the size of each pane. </p>
<p>You can <a href="wcfgldcc.htm">create</a> and <a href="adelld.htm">delete</a>
  logical devices in the Logical devices view. The Create option opens a <a href="wwizpacc.htm">wizard</a>
  that presents the steps necessary to create a new logical device.</p>
<p>Using the <a href="cusegui7.htm">buttons</a> and <a href="cusegui7.htm">icons</a>
  in the Physical Devices view and the Logical devices view, you can:</p>
<ul>
  <li><a href="cusegui9.htm">Change the way configuration information is displayed</a></li>
  <li><a href="cusegui8.htm">Collapse and expand configuration information</a></li>
  <li><a href="cusegui10.htm">Identify components of a logical device</a></li>
</ul>
<p>You can also <a href="acreaths.htm">create</a> and <a href="aremovhs.htm">delete</a>
  hot-spare drives.</p>
