drive(s). Promise recommends replacing the failed drive as soon as

possible since a “Critical” array offers no data redundancy.

Offline: This would appear most commonly within a RAID 0 or Spanning

array. The “Offline” results from a drive having failed which has taken

the entire array “offline.” In this case, you have likely lost data. Fix/

replace the drive that has failed, then restore data from a backup

source.

Array Drive Information

By left-clicking on a drive member of an array in the left pane, the right pane shows

the following information categories for that array:

Status: (Okay, Bad, Offline, Rebuilding)

Okay: Means the drive is working normally

Bad: A problem has been detected in the drive and the drive taken offline.

Mirrored arrays will continue to function without the drive. Striped

and Spanning arrays will go offline when a drive fails. In this case,

you have likely lost data. Fix/replace the drive that has failed, then

restore data from a backup source.

Offline: Drives that are NOT identified as “bad” may be taken offline if part

of a Striping or Spanning array containing a “bad.” drive. These

drives do NOT need to be replaced, however.

Rebuilding: For drives in a mirroring array, this indicates the target drive in

the rebuild process.
