Hot Spr

Specifies whether a device is the hot spare for an IM array. If hot
spare is Yes the device is used as a hot spare for the IM array; if No,
the device is not used as a hot spare for the IM array. Only one hot
spare per IM array is permitted. A hot spare is not required in an IM.
You can specify a hot spare at array creation, or any time after
creation, provided the array is made up of five disks or fewer. This
field is grayed out under the following conditions:

The device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in
an IM array.

The array already has a hot spare.

The array is made up of the maximum number of devices (six).

The device isn't large enough to mirror existing data on the
primary. The hot spare drive must be greater than or equal to
the size of any drive in any IM volume.

Drive Status

xxxx
OK

Disk is online and fully functional.

Missing

Disk is not responding.

Failed

Disk has failed.

Initalizing

Disk is initializing.

CfgOffln

Disk is offline at host's request.

User Fail

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 an IM
array.

Too Small

Disk is too small to mirror existing data.

Max Dsks

Maximum # of disks allowed for this type of Array
reached and/or Maximum # of total IM disks on a
controller reached.

No SMART

Disk doesn't support SMART, cannot be used in
an RAID array.

Wrg Intfc

Device interface (SAS) differs from existing IM
disks.

Pred Fail

Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure (Yes,
No).

Size (MB)

Indicates the size of the device in megabytes (megabyte = 1024 x 1024
= 1,048,576). 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 a three or more disk array, this field is the size that the disk
makes up within the array. When creating a striped array, the usable
size of the array is determined by the number of drives times the size
of the smallest drive in the array. In arrays consisting of different
sized drives, excess space on larger drives are unusable.
