Viewing Drive Information
Left-clicking on a given Drive icon or ID in the left pane, will show similar information
categories as the Array Window Drive Information in the right pane.
Status (also shown under the Array Window) can be Functional, Critical, or
Offline. The meanings are shown below.
Functional: Means the drive is working normally
Critical: A problem has been detected in the drive and the drive taken offline
as part of a mirroring array. Mirrored arrays will continue to function
without the drive. 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.
S.M.A.R.T. Status: Indicates whether attached hard drive implements Self-
Monitoring Analysis & Reporting Technology to predict drive failure
Size: Indicates capacity of individual drive
Location: Shows physical location of drive. Indicates on which IDE channel (1
or 2), and whether drive is Master or Slave on cable. This allows user to
identify drives for removal/replacement.
Mapping: Indicates physical parameters of drive (cylinders, heads, sectors)
