The operational status of the unit or subunit: OK, Rebuilding,

Migrating, Initializing, Verifying, Degraded, or Inoperable (missing drives).
When a unit is Rebuilding, Initializing, or Verifying, the percentage (%)
complete is also shown. For status definitions, see “Unit Statuses” on page 63.

Type.

The type of unit or subunit. RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10,

Volumes.

Displays the number of volumes in a unit. This is usually 1. If you

have a unit on which you have enabled the auto-carving policy, you will see
the number of volumes into which the unit has been divided. For more
information, see “Using Auto-Carving for Multi LUN Support” on page 32.

If the unit has subunits, details of the subunits are shown.

Note:

If an asterisk (*) appears next to the status of a subunit, there is

an error on one of the drives in the subunit. This feature provides a
diagnostic capability for potential problem drives. The error may not be a
repeated error, and may be caused by an ECC error, SMART failure, or
a device error. Rescanning the controller will clear the drive error status
if the condition no longer exists.
