Wrg Type

Device is not compatible for use as part of an IM

 

 

array.

 

Too Small

Disk is too small to mirror existing data.

 

Max Dsks

Maximum # of disks allowed for this type of Array

 

 

reached and/or Maximum # of total IM disks on a

 

 

controller reached.

 

No SMART

Disk doesn't support SMART, cannot be used in

 

 

an RAID array.

 

Wrg Intfc

Device interface (SAS) differs from existing IM

 

 

disks.

Pred Fail

Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure (Yes,

 

No).

 

Size(MB)

Indicates the size of the device in megabytes (megabyte = 1024 x 1024

 

= 1,048,576). If the device is part of a two-disk array, this field reflects

 

the size of the array, not the size of the individual disk. If the device

is part of a three or more disk array, this field is the size that the disk makes up within the array. When creating a striped array, the usable size of the array is determined by the number of drives times the size of the smallest drive in the array. In arrays consisting of different sized drives, excess space on larger drives are unusable.
