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.
Predictive Indicators
Use the Predictive Indicators to predict when a drive, which is now operating normally, may
need to be replaced.
• S.M.A.R.T. Status—Displays the S.M.A.R.T. status as reported by the physical drive. This
is only displayed if the drive supports S.M.A.R.T. predictive failure. The possible values
are:
— Other—The Storage Agent is unable to determine the status of S.M.A.R.T. predictive
failure monitoring for this drive.
— OK—Indicates the drive is functioning properly.
— Replace Drive—Indicates that the drive has a S.M.A.R.T. predictive failure error and
should be replaced.
The predictive indicators listed below are not displayed if the physical drive does not support
any of the indicators and S.M.A.R.T. status is available.
The numerical data associated with these items displays after the item name. For example,
Used Realloc: 122 means that there are 122 used reallocation sectors for this drive. The status
of these items can be OK or Replace Drive. If the status is Replace Drive, replace the drive,
or an actual drive failure may occur in the future. The Predictive Indicators are:
Functional Test 1, 2, and 3 provides information about a series of tests that indicates how
well a physical drive works. The status of these items can be OK or Replace Drive. If the
status is Replace Drive, replace the drive, or an actual drive failure may occur in the future.
