Local storage

To understand how to view the local storage information use the information in this topic.

Select the Local Storage option under the Server Management tab or the Local Storage link in the Hardware Health table on the System Status and Health page to view the local storage configuration information for the server. This option provides detailed information for the local storage devices in the server (as shown in the following illustration). You can view the physical or logical information for the local storage devices. Information is provided for supported RAID controllers and associated disks, storage pools, and volume information.
