58 Quick Access to Storage Status and Tasks
• Click the virtual disk that is in degraded state to display the Physical Disk
Properties
page.
NOTE: The virtual disk link is displayed only if the physical disks that are part
of the virtual disk, are in a Warning or Critical state.
For more information on how the status of lower-level components is rolled
up into the status displayed for the controller, see Determining the Health
Status for Storage Components.
Hot Spare Protection Policy
The Set Hot Spare Protection Policy task allows you to set or modify the
number of hot spares to be assigned to the virtual disks.
Once you set the number of assigned hot spares, any deviation from the
protection policy threshold triggers an alert based on the severity level you
set.
For more information, see Setting Hot Spare Protection Policy.
Select Report
The Select Report option provides the following reports: Patrol Read,
Consistency Check, and Slot Occupancy. For more information, see Patrol
Read Report, Check Consistency Report, Slot Occupancy Report.
Storage Component Severity
Component status is indicated by the severity. A component with a Warning
or Critical/Failure status requires immediate attention to avoid data loss, if
possible. A component’s status may indicate the combined status of the
component and its lower-level objects. For more information, see
Determining the Health Status for Storage Components.
It may be useful to review the Alert Log for events indicating why a
component has a Warning or Critical status. For additional troubleshooting
information, see Troubleshooting.
