Physical Drive Information
This section provides an overview of all disk drives attached to the controller. Each physical drive is listed as a
separate entry in the Mass Storage submenu. The information displayed next to the physical drive includes the
condition of the drive, the location of the drive and drive size. Select any of the physical drives from the Mass
Storage submenu to display more information about the drive.
The following information displays:
•
Status—Indicates the status of the physical drive. The possible values are:
•
OK—The drive is functioning properly.
•
Failed—The drive is no longer operating and should be replaced.
•
Predictive Failure—The physical drive has a predictive failure error and should be replaced.
•
Erasing—The physical drive is currently being erased and in an offline state.
•
Erase Done—The erase operation has completed and the physical drive is in an offline state.
•
Erase Queued—An erase operation is currently queued for this physical drive.
•
Unknown—The physical drive cannot be monitored at this time. This may be due to:
•
The device driver for this drive may have been unloaded.
The logical drive may have failed and been deactivated by the operating system. In this case, the last
known status was OK.
The Storage Agents do not recognize the drive. You may need to upgrade your software.
•
Action—Displays the action that is required for this device. The following values are valid:
•
Replace Drive—Replace this drive. If the drive condition is Failed, check the Predictive Indicators, Problem
Indicators, and Failure Indicators for a possible cause of the failure.
•
Replace S.M.A.R.T. Drive—The S.M.A.R.T. hard drive predicts imminent failure. Schedule replacement of the
drive before an actual failure occurs.
•
No Action Required—The drive is operating normally and no action is required.
•
Capacity—Displays the size of the physical drive.
•
Model—Displays a description of the physical drive. The text depends on the manufacturer of the drive and the
drive type.
If a drive fails, note the model to identify the type of drive necessary for replacement.
•
Firmware Version—Displays the physical drive firmware version number. Make sure you have the most recent
version of the firmware because older versions may not support all of the newest features.
•
Serial Number—Displays the serial number assigned to the physical drive. This value is based on the serial
number as returned by the SCSI inquiry command but may be modified due to space limitations. This item can
be used for identification purposes.
•
Service Hours—Displays the current number of hours of service (the number of hours that a physical drive has
been spinning) since the drive was stamped. The drive was stamped when it left the factory.
For example, if the Current Service Hours value is 604, the drive has been operating for 604 hours. If an error
occurred at 499 Service Hours, it occurred after 499 hours of service.
•
S.M.A.R.T. Support—Indicates whether or not the SCSI physical drive supports S.M.A.R.T. The possible values
are:
•
Available—This drive supports predictive failure monitoring.
•
Not available—Predictive failure monitoring is not available for this drive.
•
Unknown—The Storage Agents cannot determine if the drive supports predictive failure monitoring. You
may need to upgrade your driver or Storage Agents.
NOTE:
A value of Unknown indicates that the agents cannot determine this information from the
physical drive.
•
Current Width—Displays the current negotiated data transfer width for a SCSI physical drive. The possible
values are:
•
Narrow (8 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this drive is narrow (8 data bits).
•
Wide (16 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this drive is wide (16 data bits).
•
Unknown—The Storage Agents are unable to determine the current negotiated data transfer width for this
drive.
