Monitoring Virtual Drives
When MegaRAID Storage Manager software is running, you can see the status of all virtual drives. If a virtual drive is operating normally, the icon looks like this:
. If a virtual drive is running in partially degraded mode (for example, if a drive has failed) a yellow circle appears next to the icon. A red circle indicates that the virtual drive has failed and data has been lost.
When the Logical tab is selected, the panel on the left shows which drives are used by each virtual drive.
To display complete virtual drive information, click the Logical tab in the left panel, click on a virtual drive icon in the left panel, and click the Properties tab in the right panel.
You can change the Disk Cache Policy by selecting the Operations tab, and then selecting Set Virtual Disk Properties and changing the setting.
If the drives in the virtual drive are in a drive enclosure, you can identify them by making their LEDs blink. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click the virtual drive icon in the left panel.
- Click the Operations tab in the right panel.
- Select Locate Virtual Disk and click Go.
The LEDs on the drives in the virtual drive start blinking (except for hotspare drives).- To stop the LEDs from blinking, select Stop Locating Virtual Disk and click Go.
