| 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. | |
