    The storage subsystem profile contains several tabs, the titles of which each correspond to the subject of the information contained. The table that follows describes the information unique to the tabs in the storage subsystem profile.

    Tab Description
    Summary Shows all of the options that you can configure and the system static options for your storage subsystem. The information about the Summary tab includes disk drive security; that is, whether the storage subsystem is or security disabled. The Summary tab also shows the identifier if a security key is used by the storage subsystem.
    Shows a list of all of the controllers in the storage subsystem. The information about the Controllers tab includes the controller location, status, and configuration. The Controllers tab also includes disk drive channel information, host channel information, and Ethernet port information.
    Arrays Shows a list of all of the arrays in the storage subsystem. Logical Drives and free capacity are listed in the order in which they were created.
    Logical Drives

    Shows a list of all of the logical drives in the storage subsystem. Depending on your storage subsystem configuration, the Logical Drives tab might show these sub-tabs.

    The Standard tab shows a list of standard logical drives. If the storage subsystem does not have any existing premium feature logical drives or any missing logical drives, the Standard tab does not appear. Any standard logical drive information is then shown under the main Logical Drives tab. The information listed includes the logical drive name, the logical drive status, the capacity, the RAID level, the array, the disk drive type, and additional details.

    The Repositories tab shows a list of all flashcopy repository logical drives or mirror repository logical drives in the storage subsystem. The information in the Repositories tab appears only if the flashcopy premium feature is enabled. The information listed includes the number of repository logical drives, the repository name, the capacity, repository properties, and additional details.

    The FlashCopies tab shows a list of all of the flashcopy logical drives in the storage subsystem. The FlashCopies tab appears only if the FlashCopy premium feature is enabled. The information listed includes the number of flashcopy logical drives, the flashcopy name, the status, a creation timestamp, and additional details.

    The Missing Logical Drives tab shows a list of all of the logical drives in the storage subsystem that currently have a missing status. The Missing Logical Drives tab appears only if missing logical drives exist in the storage subsystem. The information listed includes the World Wide Identifier (WWID) for each missing logical drive.

    The Copies tab shows a list of all copy pairs in the storage subsystem. The Copies tab appears only if the VolumeCopy premium feature is enabled. The information listed includes the number of copies, the copy pair names, the status, the start timestamp, and additional details.

    Disk Drives Shows a list of all of the disk drives in the storage subsystem. The disk drives are listed in enclosure ID, slot ID order. The information listed includes the enclosure ID, the slot ID, the status, the raw capacity, the current data rate, the product ID, and the firmware version for each disk drive. The Disk Drive tab also includes disk drive channel information and hot spare coverage information.
    Disk Drive Channels Shows information for all of the disk drive channels in the storage subsystem. The information listed includes the channel status, the link status (if applicable), disk drive counts, and cumulative error counts.
    Enclosures Shows information for all of the enclosures in the storage subsystem. The information listed includes alarm status, disk drive types, and status information for each component of the enclosure. Enclosure components might include battery packs, Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, power-fan CRUs, or environmental services monitor (ESM) CRUs.
    Mappings Shows a list of mappings in the storage subsystem. The information listed includes the logical drive name, logical unit number (LUN), controller ID, host name or host group name, and logical drive status. Additional information listed includes topology definitions and host type definitions.
    All Shows a summary of storage subsystem attributes and all of the information contained in the individual tabbed sections.
