Abstract

See full text

A graphical user interface is provided to represent relative and absolute physical locations of all RAID system components. Numerous graphical representations are defined. These graphical representations represent, in whole or in part, RAID system components such as disk drives, storage array controllers, controller and drive trays, power supplies, fans, software versions, hardware interfaces, connectors and/or cabling or wiring. The graphical representations are selected and arranged using a display screen. Their selection and arrangement are based on actual physical locations of their corresponding system components. The combined graphical representations can be used to check status of one or more system components, find and access the actual system components and/or update, either under user control or system control, the graphical representations to reflect any changes made to the corresponding actual RAID system components.
