Properties Description

Part of Cache Pool Indicates whether the physical device is a part of the cache pool or

not.

Device Life Remaining Displays the percentage of the disk life available.

Failure Predicted

Displays whether the physical disk has received a Self- Monitoring

Analysis and Reporting Technology (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 if 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
