Hot Spr | Specifies whether a device is the hot spare for an IM array. If hot | |
| spare is Yes the device is used as a hot spare for the IM array; if No, | |
| the device is not used as a hot spare for the IM array. Only one hot | |
| spare per IM array is permitted. A hot spare is not required in an IM. | |
| You can specify a hot spare at array creation, or any time after | |
| creation, provided the array is made up of five disks or fewer. This | |
| field is grayed out under the following conditions: | |
| • The device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in | |
| an IM array. |
|
| • The array already has a hot spare. | |
| • The array is made up of the maximum number of devices (six). | |
| • The device isn't large enough to mirror existing data on the | |
| primary. The hot spare drive must be greater than or equal to | |
| the size of any drive in any IM volume. | |
Drive Status | xxxx |
|
| OK | Disk is online and fully functional. |
| Missing | Disk is not responding. |
| Failed | Disk has failed. |
| Initalizing | Disk is initializing. |
| CfgOffln | Disk is offline at host's request. |
| User Fail | Disk is marked failed at host's request. |
| Offline | Disk is offline for some other reason. |
| Inactive | Disk has been set 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 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 | |
| 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.
