RAID User Guide
Enclosure Section Description and Condition
Drive Status Icon Animated drive status icons which are displayed in the front view
of the enclosure, and will indicate the status and condition of the
specific disk drive.
Member • Member - Disk drive is a member component of an array.
Available • Available - Disk drive is online and available for use in an array or
as a hot spare.
Dedicated
Spare
• Dedicated Spare - Disk drive is marked as a dedicated spare to an
array.
Empty • Empty - Disk drive slot is empty.
Failed • Failed - Disk drive has failed.
Hot Spare • Hot Spare - Disk drive is a global spare.
Missing • Missing - Indicates that StorView is unable to determine the status
of the drive.
Initializing • Initializing - Disk drive is a member of an array being initialized.
Rebuilding • Rebuilding - Drive members of an array are in rebuild mode.
Locate • Locate - Clicking the “arrow” icon next to the “specific array” in
the Arrays section will display an “arrow” icon on all the drive
members of that array in the front enclosure view.
Critical • Critical - Drive(s) are members of a fault tolerant array and are in a
non-fault tolerant state.
Updating
Firmware
• Updating Firmware - This icon will appear when the subject drive’s
firmware is being updated.
Member
Failed Array
• Failed Array Member - This icon will appear on all disk drives
that are members of an array that has failed. For example if you
remove a drive from a RAID 0 array or a drive in that array fails,
the remaining drive members will have this icon displayed indi-
cating that array has failed. If you accidentally remove the wrong
drive in a critical redundant array (RAID 5) instead of the failed
drive, that array will have failed and its member drives will have
this icon displayed. Re-inserting the drive that was accidentally
removed will put the drive members back to a critical state in
which the array is being rebuilt.
Queued to
Initialize
• Queued to Initialize - This icon is displayed on the drive members
whose array is to be initialized and is placed in a queue for the
process to be started and completed.
Expanding • Expanding - This icon is displayed on the drive members whose
array is expanding.
Verifying • Verifying - This icon is displayed on the drive members whose
array’s parity data is being verified.
Fan Icon Animated fan icons are displayed in the rear view of the enclosure
and will change colors and text animation according to the state of
one or both cooling fans.
Normal (gray) • Normal - Both fans are operating normally.
Fan 1 Failed
(yellow)
• Fan 1 Failed - One fan in the fan module has failed. The fan which
failed will be indicated on the icon.
