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 SM ART is predicting device failure.
Size (MB) Actual physical size of the selected disk in the array.
