HP ProLiant DL380 G5 Server - Manual (Page 43)

• Status—Indicates the status of the data path. Possible values are:
• OK—The path is operational.
• Link down—The path is not operational.
• Unknown—The path status cannot be determined.
• Role—Indicates the role of this path in the configuration. Possible values are:
• Active—This path is the preferred data path to the physical drive.
• Alternate—This path is the alternate data path to the physical drive.
• Unknown—The role of this path cannot be determined.
Identify Drive
Select the length of time to identify the physical drive from the drop-down list box and then click the Start button. The
page automatically refreshes, and then an image of an identified drive and a Stop button appears. Click the Stop
button to end identification before the time expires.
After the drive identification completes, the page must be manually refreshed to display the Start button. There may
be a delay, depending on the length of the HP Insight Management Agents data collection interval, after the drive
identification completes and before the Start button appears.
Only drives in hot plug trays are supported since the LEDs are part of the tray. Only one drive on a selected controller
may be identified at a time. If a different drive is selected while another drive is currently identified then the other
drive stops identification and the selected drive is identified.
IMPORTANT: The Start or Stop button only be appears if you are logged on as an administrator or an
operator, SNMP Sets are enabled, and a SNMP Community string has been defined with 'write' access. Go
back to the Summary page and select login to login as an administrator or operator. SNMP Sets can be
enabled in the HP Insight Management Agents control panel applet on the SNMP Settings page. A SNMP
Community string with 'write' access can be defined in the SNMP Service Properties Security page located in
Computer Management under Services. The drive icon does not blink in Microsoft ® Internet Explorer unless
“Play animations in web pages” is enabled in the Internet Options Tools menu under the Advanced tab in the
Multimedia section.
Logical Drive Information
Spare Information
This section provides additional information about the spare drive, including status and the number of physical drives
it replaces, if any. This section is available only if this physical drive is configured as a spare drive. The following
information is available:
• Status—Displays the status of the on-line spare drive. The following values are possible:
• Building—A physical drive has failed. Automatic Data Recovery is in progress to recover data to the on-line
spare.
• Active—A physical drive has failed. Automatic Data Recovery is complete. The system is using the on-line
spare as a replacement for the failed drive.
• Failed—The on-line spare has failed and is no longer available for use.
• Inactive—The monitored system has an on-line spare configured, but is not currently in use.
• Unknown—You may need to upgrade your software.
When the status is Building, one of the following displays, which indicates the progress of the Automatic Data
Recovery:
• Percent Rebuild Complete—Displays the percent complete of the rebuild. When the value reaches 100, the
rebuilding process is complete. The drive array continues to operate in interim recovery mode during the
rebuild.
• Rebuild Blocks Left—Displays the number of blocks of data that still need to be redistributed. When the value
reaches 0, the rebuilding process is complete. The array continues to operate interim recovery mode during the
rebuild.
• Replaced Drives—Identifies the failed physical drives in the logical drive that the spare drive has replaced. Use
this monitored item to identify the failed drives and replace those drives as soon as possible.
If N/A displays, the spare has not begun operating in place of the failed drive.
