Overland Storage REO 9000 with ProtectionPAC Software

„Status. Indicates whether the device is Up or Down. In addition to using an Up or Down label, the color green indicates that the item is okay, orange indicates that the item is in an unprotected state (for example, initializing), and red indicates that the item is unavailable (for example, a disk is missing).

Note: This status is different from that which is shown on the Physical Volume Management page. For example, if you switch from a JBOD configuration to a RAID 5 configuration, the status of the two device IDs on the summary page will be Up, while the status for the two volumes on the Physical Volume Management Page will be

INITIALIZING.

„Device Type. Indicates whether the device is exported as a disk drive or as a virtual LTO-2 tape drive. If you create a Tape Device or Dynamic Tape Device and select the Enable Tape Compression check box, Tape (or Dynamic Tape) appears in italic formatting in this column.

„Size (GB). Indicates the amount of space allocated to the device.
