2.3.6 SINGLE DRIVE / SEGMENT

The single drive is a virtual disk that can either be an entire disk drive or a segment of a single disk drive. Single drive is the “Contiguous” configuration option when creating RAID Groups (or sets) in the SATARAID5 software.

2.4RAID VOLUME STATUS

A RAID volume can be in any one of the following statuses.

STATUS

MEANING

 

 

Good

All disks are currently functioning as normal.

 

 

 

For RAID levels that provide data protection, one or more disks have

Reduced

failed but the data is still available via the RAID algorithms. The failed

 

disk should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid loss of data.

 

 

 

A failed disk drive has been replaced and the data is being regenerated

Rebuilding

on the replacement disk. When complete, the RAID Group will return to

 

Good status.

 

 

 

An error has occurred and RAID algorithms be regenerated on this

Resynchronizing

RAID Group. When complete, the RAID Group will return to Good

 

status.

 

 

 

One or more disks have failed and RAID algorithms can no longer

 

regenerate the data. The minimum number of failures required to reach

Failed

this state depends on the RAID level:

 

 

z RAID 0, Concatenated, Contiguous: Single disk failure.

 

z RAID 1, 10, and 5: Two disk failure.
