Status These icons represent the severity or health of the storage component.
— Normal/OK
— Warning/Non-critical
— Critical/Failure/Error
For more information, see Storage Component Severity.
Power Status Displays the power status of the physical drives. The power status is present only
for H700 and H800 controllers and is not present in the Physical Disk for Virtual Disk
page.
Spun Down Indicates that the physical drive is in spun down state. Only hot spare and
uncongured disk can be in spun down state if there is no activity on the drives for a
specied interval of time.
Transition Indicates that the physical drive is changing from the spun down state to spun up
state.
Spun Up Indicates that the physical drive is in the spun up state.
Name Displays the name of the physical disk or device. The name includes of the
connector number followed by the disk number.
State Displays the current state of the physical disk or device. Possible values are:
• Ready — The physical disk or device is functioning normally. If the disk is
attached to a RAID controller Ready indicates that the disk is available to be
used by a virtual disk. When the physical disk or device is used in a virtual disk,
the state changes to Online.
• Online — Indicates that the physical disk is part of a virtual disk and is
functioning normally. For more information, see Setting Online And Oine.
• Degraded — The physical disk or device has encountered a failure and is
operating in a Degraded state.
• Failed — The physical disk or device has encountered a failure and is no longer
functioning. This state is also displayed when a physical disk or device that is
part of a redundant virtual disk is oine or deactivated. For more information,
see Setting Online And Oine.
• Oine — The physical disk or device has failed or contains dead segments.
Check to see if the Remove Dead Segments task appears on the physical disk
drop-down menu. Refresh the system and then remove the dead segment
(Removing Dead Segments) for the physical disk. If this task is not displayed,
then the physical disk or device cannot be recovered.
• Rebuilding — Data from a redundant virtual disk is being rebuilt onto the
physical disk or device.
• 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
