9.3.12.3 View Array
The View Array screen allows you to view the current array configuration,
as shown in
Figure 9.16 .
If multiple arrays are defined, press Alt+N to view the next array. Press
C to start creating a new array.
Drive Status The possible drive statuses are as follows:
•
Ok: Disk is online and fully functional
•
Missing: Disk is not responding
•
Failed: Disk has failed
•
Initing: Disk is initializing
•
CfgOffln: Disk is offline at host’s request
•
UserFail: Disk is marked failed at host’s request
•
Offline: Disk is offline for some other reason
•
Inactive: Disk has been set inactive
•
Not Syncd: Data on disk is not synchronized with the rest of the array
•
Primary: Disk is the primary disk for a 2-disk mirror and is OK
•
Secondary: Disk is the secondary disk for a 2-disk mirror and is OK
•
Wrg Type: Device is not compatible for use as part of a RAID array
•
Too Small: Disk is too small to mirror existing data
•
Max Dsks: Maximum # of disks allowed for this type of array reached, or
Maximum # of total IR disks on a controller reached
•
No SMART: Disk doesn’t support SMART, cannot be used in an array
•
Wrg Intfc: Device interface (SAS/SATA) differs from existing IR disks
Pred Fail Indicates whether SMART is predicting device failure (Yes or No).
Size(MB) The size of the device, in megabytes. If the device is part of a two-disk array, this
field reflects the size of the array, not the size of the individual disk.
If the device is part of an array of three or more disks, this field is the size that the
disk makes up within the array.
Note: When creating a striped array, the usable size of the array is determined by
the number of drives, multiplied by the size of the smallest drive in the array.
In arrays consisting of different sized drives, excess space on larger drives is
unusable.
