000A Drive error detected

As part of the recovery mechanism of the 3ware RAID controller, various drive failures can be detected and, if possible, corrected. One such drive failure is when the drive indicates back to the 3ware RAID controller that it was unable to complete a command. If the drive returns an error to the 3ware RAID controller, you are notified by this message.

000B Rebuild started

The 3ware RAID controller notifies you whenever it starts a rebuild. The rebuild start may have been initiated by you (by selecting the Rebuild button in the 3DM Maintenance page), may be auto-initiated by a hot spare failover, or may be started after drive removal or insertion (due to the Auto Rebuild policy). In any of these cases, you are notified of the event by this message.

For information on scheduling rebuilds, see “Scheduling Background Tasks” on page 76. For general information on rebuilds, see “Rebuilding Units” on page 73. For information about how background tasks are prioritized, see “Background Task Prioritization” on page 76.

000C Initialize started

The 3ware RAID controller notifies you by this message whenever it starts an initialization. This is always a “synching” background initialization and does not erase user data. Initialization either occurs at unit creation time or later during the initial verification of redundant units.

For more information, see “About Initialization” on page 69

000D Unit deleted

The unit was deleted.

The controller firmware will warn you and request confirmation before deleting units that are mounted and known to the operating system. You should unmount any units that you plan to delete. Note that deleting a unit will erase all data on that unit.
