Status
(also shown under the Array Window) can be Functional, Critical, or Offline. The meanings
are shown below.
Functional: Means the drive is working normally
Critical: A problem has been detected in the drive and the drive taken offline as part of a mirroring
array. Mirrored arrays will continue to function without the drive. Fix/replace the drive that has
failed, and then restore data from a backup source.
Offline: Drives that are NOT identified as “bad” may be taken offline if part of a Striping or
Spanning array containing a “bad” drive. These drives do NOT need to be replaced, however.
