User's Manual

Foreign—The physical disk has been moved from another controller and contains all or some portion of a virtual disk (foreign
configuration). A physical disk that has lost communication with the controller due to a power loss, faulty cable or other failure event may
also display the Foreign state. See Foreign Configuration Operations for more information.
Unsupported—The physical disk is using an unsupported technology or it may not be certified by Dell. The physical disk cannot be managed
by Storage Management.
Replacing—A Replace Member Disk task is being performed on the physical disk. For more information, see Replace Member Disk and
Revertible Hot Spare.

NOTE: You can cancel the copying of data at any time during the execution of this task.
Capacity
This property displays the full capacity of the disk.
Certified
This property displays whether or not the physical disk is certified by Dell.
Failure
Predicted
This property displays whether or not the physical disk has received a SMART alert and is therefore predicted to fail. For more information
on SMART predictive failure analysis, see Monitoring Disk Reliability on RAID Controllers. For information on replacing the physical disk, see
Replacing a Physical Disk Receiving SMART Alerts.
You may also want to review the Alert Log to see whether the physical disk has generated alerts pertaining to a SMART predictive failure.
These alerts can assist you in identifying the cause of the SMART alert. The following alerts may be generated in response to a SMART
alert:
2094
2106
2107
2108
2109
2110
2111
For information on Alert Messages, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
Progress
This property displays how close to completion an operation is that is being performed on the physical disk.
This property is only displayed when an operation is being performed on the physical disk.
Encryption
Capable
This property displays whether the physical disk is a Self Encryption Disk (SED.) The possible values are Yes and No.
Encrypted
This property displays whether the physical disk is encrypted to the controller. The possible values are Yes and No. For a non-SED the
value is N/A.
Bus Protocol
This property displays the technology that the physical disk is using. Possible values are:
SCSI—Small Computer System Interface
SAS—Serial Attached SCSI
SATA—Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA)
Media
This property displays the media type of the physical disk. The possible values are:
HDD—Hard Disk Drive. A HDD is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally-encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic
surfaces.
SSD—Solid State Drive. An SSD is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store persistent data.
Unknown—Storage Management is unable to determine the media type of the physical disk.
Used RAID
Disk Space
This property displays how much of the physical disk space is being used by the virtual disks on the controller. This property is Not
Applicable for physical disks attached to non-RAID controllers.
In certain circumstances, the Used RAID Disk Space displays a value of zero (0) even though a portion of the physical disk is being used.
This occurs when the used space is 0.005 GB or less. The algorithm for calculating the used disk space rounds a figure of 0.005 GB or less
to 0. Used disk space that is between 0.006 GB and 0.009 GB is rounded up to 0.01 GB.
Available RAID
Disk Space
This property displays the amount of available space on the disk. This property is Not Applicable for physical disks attached to non-RAID
controllers.
Hot Spare
This property indicates whether the disk has been assigned as a hot spare. This property is Not Applicable for physical disks attached to
non-RAID controllers.
Vendor ID
This property displays the disk's hardware vendor.
Product ID
This property displays the disk's product ID.
Revision
This property displays the disk's revision number.
Serial No.
This property displays the disk's serial number.
Part Number
This property displays the Piece Part Identification (PPID) of the physical drive.
Negotiated
Speed
This property displays the speed of data transfer that the disk negotiated while spinning up and upon initial communication with the
controller. This speed is dependent on the speed of the disk, the capable speed of the controller, the current speed of the controller on
that connector, and the speed of the EMM (Enclosure Management Module) on the enclosure.
Capable Speed
This property displays the highest possible speed that the device can transfer data.
