Storage Manager on ROM
The Description section displays a general description of the
highlighted array, as follows:
The Status section displays the current status of the array. A
progress indicator (a numeric percentage of completion) can also
appear if the array is building or rebuilding. The status definitions
are listed below:
Description RAID level used for the array.
Revision Firmware revision of the RAID controller.
Address
RAID address in the form
dDbBtTdD, as described in
Device Address Syntax on page 4-2. Display contains as
much information as necessary to unambiguously
define the address of the device. Controllers always are
assigned the lowest logical address of any device in the array.
Capacity The usable capacity of the array in MB. The available
capacity depends upon the RAID level of that array.
Removable As reported by the devices in the array.
Read Only As reported by the devices in the array.
Block Size The sector (block) size of the selected device in bytes.
For hard drives, the value should be 512. If the size is not
512, use SMOR to do a low-level format and create 512-byte
sectors. See Formatting a Drive on page 2-25 for more
information.
Stripe Size Displays the stripe size used to create the RAID.
Building The array is being built.
Created The array or device is defined, but not initialized.
Dead A Write Back Cache command to the array failed. This
is an unrecoverable failure.
Degraded A single drive in the array failed; array performance is
degraded.
Impacted A verification is being performed on the array; I/O
performance is affected.
Optimal The array is fully functional.
Pending The array has been created and the build is queued on
the controller, but not yet started.
Rebuilding Data is being rebuilt onto a drive in the array.
