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
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
Displays whether the physical disk or device is certified by your service provider.
Mirror Set ID Displays the mirror set ID of the member physical disk or device that has duplicated data
from another physical disk or device.
Capacity Displays the capacity of the disk.
Failure Predicted Displays whether the physical disk or device 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.
