Figure 11. Physical View for the IR Controller

For a physical device connected via multipath, the storelibIR provides support for multipathing. The storelibIR depends on the Enclosure ID (ELID). If the ELID is different, the end devices (expander/enclosure and physical drives) are displayed in the application twice.

In the MegaRAID Storage Manager application, the following observations can be seen:

*

Two different logical IDs are displayed for the same enclosure in both the tree node and the Properties tab.

*

The same slot number with the same Device ID is displayed twice in the tree node on different Expanders/Enclosures.

*

The MSM event logger cannot differentiate between the insertion or removal of physical drives and enclosures.
