Property Denition
For more information, see Storage Component Severity.
Name Displays the name of the physical disk. The name is comprised of the connector number followed by
the disk number.
State Displays the current state of the physical disk.
After Import State Displays the after-import state of the physical disk. The physical disk can be imported in any of the
following states:
• Online — The physical disk is part of the imported virtual disk and functions normally.
• Oine — The physical disk is oine after import to the virtual disk.
• Foreign — The virtual disk containing the physical disk cannot be imported and the physical
disk remains in foreign state.
• Rebuild — After import of virtual disk, the physical disk rebuilds.
• Replacing — A Replace Member Disk task is performed on the physical disk. For more
information on replacing a member disk, see Replacing A Member Disk and Enabling Revertible
Hot Spare.
Capacity Displays the capacity of the disk.
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 whether 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
For information on alert messages, see the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide.
Progress Displays the progress of an operation being performed on the physical disk.
Bus Protocol Displays the technology that the physical disk is using. Possible values are:
• SAS — Serial Attached SCSI
• SATA — Serial Advanced Technology Attachment
Device Protocol Displays the device protocol of the physical device, such as Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe).
Certied Indicates that the drive has rmware which has been tested and fully qualied by the service
provider. Drives that are not certied by the service provider may work but, are not supported and
recommended for use in servers.
Media Displays the media type of the physical disk. The possible values are:
• HDD — Hard Disk Drive. An HDD is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally-encoded
data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces.
• SSD — Solid-State Drive. An SSD is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to
store persistent data.
