Array Disks on a Particular Controller

Use this window to view detailed information about the array disks attached to various channels of a particular disk controller. For each channel, you can view information about the enclosures and the array disks that the storage enclosure contains.

Array Disk

An array disk is a physical disk controlled by a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller.

Channels

The channels on a RAID controller are numbered, for example, channel 0, channel 1, and channel 2. A channel may or may not have an enclosure attached to it. When there are no enclosures attached to a particular channel, the information for that channel reads: No Array Disks Attached.
