Property Definition
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.
NOTE: Power status of SAS/SATA SSD showing as Not Applicable is an
expected behaviour in Storage Management.
Spun Down Indicates that the physical drive is in spun down state. Only hot spare and unconfigured
disk can be in spun down state if there is no activity on the drives for a specified 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.
Not Applicable Indicates that
Name Displays the name of the physical disk or device. The name includes of the connector
number followed by the disk number.
For all the disks which are not part of the virtual disk will display as NON-Raid Disks for
systems running on Enhanced HBA mode. Hot-plugged in disks also displays as NON-
RAID disks.
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 Offline.
NOTE: For all NON-Raid Disks for systems running on Enhanced HBA
mode will have the status displayed as Online.
•
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 offline or deactivated. For more information, see Setting
Online And Offline.
• Offline — 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.
