Drive Array Controllers
This section displays general and status information about drive arrays. Select a drive array
controller entry from the Mass Storage list to display a submenu containing separate entries for
Array Controller Information, Physical Drives, Logical Drives, and storage system information.
The following items display:
Array Controller Information
Select an array controller from the Mass Storage list to display information for the controller.
The following information displays for each controller:
• Model—Displays the type of controller card.
• Controller Status—Displays the array controller board status. The following values are valid:
— OK—The array controller is operating properly.
— General Failure—The array controller has failed.
— Cable Problem—The array controller has a cable problem. Check all cables to the
controller.
— Powered Off—The array controller does not have power. Replace the controller and
restore power to the controller's slot.
— Unknown—Indicates that the Storage Agents are unable to determine the status of the
controller. You may need to upgrade the Storage Agents.
• Current Role—Displays the array controller's current role for duplexed array controllers.
The following values are valid:
— Not Duplexed—This array controller is not duplexed.
— Active—This duplexed array controller is the active controller.
— Backup—This duplexed array controller is the backup controller.
— Unknown—Indicates that the Storage Agents are unable to determine the role of the
controller. You may need to upgrade the Storage Agents.
• Redundancy Model—Displays the redundancy type for the controller. The following values
are valid:
— Not Redundant—This array controller is not in a redundant configuration.
— Driver Duplexing—The array controller is using a controller duplexing algorithm
implemented exclusively in the operating system driver.
— Firmware Active/Standby—The array controller is using an active/standby algorithm
implemented in the controller firmware and the operating system driver.
— Firmware Primary/Secondary—The array controller is using a primary/secondary
algorithm implemented in the controller firmware and the operating system driver.
— Unknown—Indicates that the Storage Agents cannot determine the redundancy type
for the controller. You may need to upgrade the Storage Agents.
• Redundancy Error—Displays the redundancy error for the controller. The following values
are valid:
— No Failure—No failures have been detected.
— No Redundant Controller—No redundant controller is installed.
— Different Hardware—The other controller indicates a different hardware model.
— No Link—A link to the other controller could not be established.
— Different Firmware—The other controller indicates a different firmware version.
— Different Cache—The other controller indicates a different cache size.
— Other Cache Failure—The other controller indicates a cache failure.
— No Drives—This controller cannot see any attached drives, but the other controller can.
— Other No Drives—This controller can see the attached drives, but the other controller
cannot.
