This section displays RAID array information. Five banners appear in this section.

RAID array status

Status—Displays the status of the RAID array. The following conditions are valid:

Good—The RAID array is fully operational.

Reduced—The RAID array is operating in a degraded or reduced state. One or more of
the physical drives that make up the RAID array are either missing or failed. However,
the RAID array can continue to operate without data loss.

Failed—The RAID array is not operational.

Reconstructing—The RAID array is regenerating the data from a failed physical drive
onto a replacement drive that is part of the RAID array. All user data remains available
during the reconstruction process, but some performance reduction might occur when a
request requires access to the device being reconstructed.

Initialization—The controller is writing its file structure onto the member devices of a RAID
array.

RAID Level—Displays the RAID level and a brief description of the selected RAID array.

Drive information

Capacity—Displays the total capacity of the RAID array in megabytes

Spare Status—Displays the status of the online spare drive. The following conditions are valid:

Hot Spare—The drive attached to this channel is kept spinning whenever the controller is
powered up. It is to be automatically brought online to replace a failed drive.
