Working with physical drives and arrays during logical drive migration

If you are unfamiliar with the tree icons, you might want to review the following information:


  1. Click on an item from the Main Tree (that is, the left panel).
  2. Click Actions --> an action.

You can also drag and drop icons from the Main Tree to the Configuration Tree. The Actions menu enables only the appropriate actions for a selected item. These same actions are also available when you right-click an object in the Main Tree or Configuration Tree.
