Table 36. Physical Disk Properties (continued)
Property Definition
● Incompatible — The physical disk or device is not suitable for a rebuild. The
physical disk or device may be too small or it may be using an incompatible
technology. For example, you cannot rebuild a SAS disk with a SATA disk or a
SATA disk with a SAS disk.
● Removed — The physical disk or device has been removed. This state applies
only to physical disks that are part of a virtual disk.
● Clear — The Clear task is being performed on the physical disk or device.
A physical disk or device may also display the Clear state if the physical disk
or device is a member of a virtual disk that is being slow initialized. For more
information, see Performing A Clear Physical Disk And Cancel Clear and Slow
And Fast Initialize.
● SMART Alert Detected — A SMART alert (predictive failure) has been
detected on the physical disk or device. The physical disk or device may
fail and should be replaced. This state applies to physical disks or devices
attached to non-RAID and M.2 device controllers.
● Unknown — The physical disk or device has failed or is in an unusable state.
At times, the physical disk or device can be returned to a usable state by
performing a Format, Initialize, Slow, And Fast Initialize task. If the Format,
Initialize, Slow, And Fast Initialize task does not appear on the physical disk or
device drop-down menu, then this disk or device cannot be recovered.
● Foreign — The physical disk has been moved from another controller and
contains all or some portions of a virtual disk (foreign configuration). A
physical disk or device that has lost communication with the controller due to
a power loss, faulty cable or other failure event may also display the Foreign
state. For more information, see Foreign Configuration Operations.
● Unsupported — The physical disk or device is using an unsupported
technology or it may not be certified by your service provider. The physical
disk cannot be managed by Storage Management.
● Replacing — A Replace Member Disk task is being performed on the
physical disk or device. For more information, see Replacing A Member Disk
and Enabling Revertible Hot Spare.
NOTE:
You can cancel the copying of data at any time during the
execution of this task.
● Non-RAID — Non-RAID disks are exposed to the operating system unlike
unconfigured disks and enables usage of disk in direct pass-through mode.
Maximum number of non-RAID disks that can be supported on H310 controller
are 64.
You can perform the following tasks on the Non-RAID disks:
● Identified as locate option.
● Perform a blink or unblink operation.
● Select the disk as a bootable device.
You cannot perform the following tasks on the disk:
● Force disk offline or online.
● Select as part of a virtual disk.
● Assign a hot spare.
● Choose as source or target for rebuild, copyback, replace member, or
reconstruct.
● Spun down to save power.
● Select as a bootable device.
Certified
