You can perform the following actions on the View Array screen:

To view the next array, press N.

To create a new array, press C.

Array

Displays the number of this array.

Identifier

Displays the identifier of this array.

Type

Displays the RAID type.

Scan Order

Displays the scan order of the array.

Size (MB)

Displays the size of the array.

Status

Displays the status of the array.

Bay

Displays the bay in which devices are located.

Device Identifier

Displays the device identifier.

RAID Disk

Specifies the devices (disks) that make up an IM array. If RAID Disk

 

is Yes, the device is part of an IM array, if No, the device is not part

 

of an IM array. This field is grayed out under the following conditions:

 

• The device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in

 

an IM array.

 

 

• The device is not large enough to mirror existing data on the

 

primary drive.

 

• This disk has been selected as the hot spare for the IM array.

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.

 

A hot spare can be specified at array creation, or any time after

 

creation, provided the array is made up of 5 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 (6).

 

• 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.

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
