Virtual Disk-Related Errors

Failure States

Whether a virtual disk is marked as Failed or Degraded depends upon what

RAID level virtual disk it is, and how many physical disks of the virtual disk

have failed.
If a rescan of all channels is performed after disconnecting a physical disk, the

state of every virtual disk using the disconnected physical disk changes from

the Ready state to either the Failed or Degraded state, depending on the

virtual disk’s RAID level.
For additional information about rescanning to update storage configuration

changes, see the OpenManage documentation available on the Dell Support

website at dell.com/support/manuals.
