Table 5-2. Virtual Disk Field Descriptions (continued)
Field | Description |
|
|
RAID Disk | Specifies whether the disk is part of a RAID virtual disk (Yes or No). This field is grayed |
| out under the following conditions: |
| • The disk does not meet the minimum requirements for use in a RAID virtual disk. |
| • The disk is not large enough to mirror existing data on the primary physical disk. |
| • The disk is a part of another virtual disk. |
|
|
Pred Fail | Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure |
|
|
Drive Status | The physical disk drive status |
| • Ok: Disk is online and fully functional |
| • Missing: Disk is not detected |
| • Failed: Disk is not accessible or has reported a failure |
| • Initing: Disk is initializing |
| • Offline: Disk is offline for some other reason |
| • Inactive: Disk has been set inactive |
| • Not Syncd: Data on disk is not synchronized with the rest of the virtual disk |
| • Primary: Disk is the primary disk for a |
| • Secondary: Disk is the secondary disk for a |
| • Wrg Type: Device is not compatible for use as part of the RAID virtual disk |
| • Too Small: Disk is too small to mirror existing data |
| • Max Dsks: Maximum # of disks allowed for this type of virtual disk reached |
| • Wrg Intfc: Device interface (SAS/SATA) differs from existing IR disks |
|
|
Size (MB) | The coerced size of the physical disk in MB (1 MB = (1024 x 1024) = 1,048,576 bytes). |
| NOTE: Disk coercion is used to ensure the disks are the same size. In virtual disks consisting |
| of different sized physical disks, excess space on larger physical disks is unusable. |

View Virtual Disk
The View Virtual Disk screen allows you to view the current virtual disk configuration.
Press <Alt+N> to view the next virtual disk. See the table above to view descriptions of each virtual disk property.
Manage Virtual Disk
The Manage Virtual Disk screen is used to manage the current virtual disk. If you select Synchronize Mirror, Activate Mirror, or Delete Virtual Disk, you are prompted to confirm the choice by pressing Y for yes or N for no.
