File Menu

The FILE menu has an EXIT option for exiting from the MEGARAID STORAGE MANAGER
software. It also has a RESCAN option for updating the display in the MEGARAID
STORAGE MANAGER window. (RESCAN is seldom required; the display normally updates
automatically.)

Operations Menu

The OPERATIONS menu is available when a controller, physical drive, or logical drive is
selected in the MEGARAID STORAGE MANAGER window. The OPERATIONS menu options
vary depending on what type of device is selected in the left panel of the MEGARAID
STORAGE MANAGER window. The options also vary depending on the current state of the
selected device. For example, if you select an offline physical drive, the MAKE DRIVE
ONLINE option appears in the OPERATIONS menu.
You can also view the OPERATIONS selections on the main window on the OPERATIONS
tab in the right panel. If an operation requires user inputs before it can be executed, it
appears in the OPERATIONS tab but not in the OPERATIONS menu. A device-specific
OPERATIONS menu pops up if you right-click a device icon in the left panel.
An ADVANCED OPERATIONS submenu is also available. This is where you access the
CONFIGURATION WIZARD and other configuration-related commands. To access this
menu, select OPERATIONS J ADVANCED OPERATIONS.

Group Operations Menu

The GROUP OPERATIONS menu options include CHECK CONSISTENCY, INITIALIZE, and
SHOW PROGRESS.

Log Menu

The LOG menu includes options for saving and clearing the message log.

Help Menu

On the HELP menu you can select HELP J HELP to view the MegaRAID Storage
Manager software online help file. You can select HELP J ABOUT to view version
information for the MegaRAID Storage Manager software.
