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.
