Critical – This condition arises as the result of a physical drive failure. A Critical logical drive will still function and your data is still available. However, the logical drive has lost redundancy (fault tolerance). You must determine the cause of the problem and correct it.

Offline – This condition arises as the result of a second physical drive failure. An Offline logical drive is not accessable but some or all of your data may remain intact. You must determine the cause of the problem and correct it.
