Checking Disk Array Status

An important part of managing the disk array involves monitoring its status to ensure it is
working properly. Changes in disk array status may indicate a possible hardware failure, so
it is important to check disk array status regularly.

All aspects of disk array operation are continually monitored and the current status is
stored for viewing. You can selectively view the status of any portion of the disk array
configuration.
