Table 5-2. Array Field Descriptions (continued)
Field | Description |
|
|
Array Size (MB) | Size of the array |
| NOTE: In order to facilitate coercion on new larger disk drives, the disk size must be coerced |
| down to the next lower gigabyte. Additionally, for compliance with the latest Disk Data Format |
| standard, 512 MB of space must be reserved for RAID metadata on the drive. This may result |
| in greater than 1 GB of space being removed from the usable size of an array when it is |
| created. |
|
|
Array Status | Status of the current array. |
|
|
Device Slot Number | Slot number in which the specified device sits. |
|
|
Device Identifier | Identifier text for the specified device. |
|
|
RAID Disk | Specifies whether or not the disk is part of a RAID array (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 array. |
| • The disk is not large enough to mirror existing data on the primary physical disk. |
| • The disk is a part of another array. |
|
|
Hotspare | Specifies whether or not the disk is a hotspare. |
|
|
Drive Status | Ok - Disk is online and fully functional. |
| Missing - Diskette is not detected. |
| Failed - Disk is not accessible or has reported a failure. |
| Initing - Disk is initializing. |
| CfgOffln - Disk is offline at host's request. |
| UserFail - Disk is marked failed at host's request. |
| Offline - Disk is offline for some other reason. |
| Inactive - Disk has been set to inactive. |
| Not Syncd - Data on disk is not synchronized with the rest of the array. |
| Primary - Disk is the primary disk for a 2 disk mirror and is OK. |
| Secondary - Disk is the secondary disk for a 2 disk mirror and is OK. |
| Wrg Type - Device is not compatible for use as part of a RAID array. |
| Too Small - Disk is too small to mirror existing data. |
| Max Dsks - Maximum # of disks allowed for this type of array reached Maximum # of |
| total IR disks on a controller reached. |
| No SMART - Disk doesn't support SMART and can't be used in a RAID array. |
| Wrg Intfc - Device interface (SAS/SATA) differs from existing IR disks. |
|
|
Predicted Failure | Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure. |
|
|
Size (MB) | Actual physical size of the selected disk in the array. |
