Property Denition
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 conguration). 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 Conguration Operations.
• Unsupported — The physical disk or device is using an unsupported technology
or it may not be certied 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
uncongured 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:
• Identied 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 oine 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.
Certied
Displays whether the physical disk or device is certied 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.
You may also want to review the alert log to see whether the physical disk or device
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:
