Property Definition
State Displays the status of the controller. Possible values are:
• Ready — The controller is functioning normally.
• Degraded — The controller has encountered a failure and is
operating in a degraded state.
• Failed — The controller has encountered a failure and is no
longer functioning.
Firmware Version Displays the version of the firmware that is installed on the
controller.
NOTE: Storage Management displays Not Applicable on
some controllers for which the firmware version cannot
be obtained.
Minimum Required Firmware Version Displays the minimum firmware version that is required by Storage
Management. This property is displayed only if the controller
firmware does not meet the minimum requirement.
Driver Version Displays the version of the driver that is installed on the controller.
NOTE: Storage Management displays Not Applicable on
some controllers for which the driver version cannot be
obtained.
Minimum Required Driver Version Displays the minimum driver version that is required by Storage
Management. This property is displayed only if the controller driver
does not meet the minimum requirement.
Number of Connectors Displays the number of connectors on the controller. Each
connector can be attached to physical disks or an enclosure.
Depending on the controller type, the connector can be either a
SCSI channel or a SAS port.
Rebuild Rate Rebuild rate is the percentage of resources available on a system
dedicated to rebuild a failed disk when necessary. For more
information on rebuild rate, see Setting The Rebuild Rate.
NOTE: The value for the Revertible Hot Spare operation
is the same as the value set for the Rebuild Rate
property.
BGI Rate The background initialization (BGI) rate is the percentage of
resources available on a system dedicated to perform the
background initialization of a virtual disk after it is created. For
more information on BGI rate, see Setting Background Initialization
Rate.
Check Consistency Rate The check consistency rate is the percentage of resources
available on a system dedicated to perform check consistency on a
redundant virtual disk. For more information, see Performing A
Check Consistency.
Reconstruct Rate The reconstruct rate is the percentage of resources available on a
system dedicated to reconstruct a disk group after adding a
physical disk or changing the RAID level of a virtual disk residing on
the disk group. For more information on reconstruct rate, see
Setting The Reconstruct Rate.
Abort Check Consistency on Error Enables you to stop the Check Consistency operation on error.
This property is available only on controllers that have controller
firmware version 6.1 and later.
Allow Revertible Hot Spare and Replace Member Enables the automatic copying of data from a physical disk to a hot
spare (in case of predictive failure) or from a hot spare to a
physical disk (in case of replacement of a degraded disk). For more
information, see Enabling Revertible Hot Spare.
