Viewing IDE Channel Information
Left-clicking on a given Channel icon or # in the left pane, will show the Base IO addresses of the
channel in the right pane (used for troubleshooting).
Viewing Drive Information
Left-clicking on a given Drive icon or ID in the left pane, will show similar information categories as the
Array Window Drive Information in the right pane.
Status (also shown under the Array Window) can be Functional, Critical, or Offline. The meanings
are shown below.
Functional: Means the drive is working normally
Critical: A problem has been detected in the drive and the drive taken offline as part of a mirroring
array. Mirrored arrays will continue to function without the drive. Fix/replace the drive that has
failed, and then restore data from a backup source.
Offline: Drives that are NOT identified as “bad” may be taken offline if part of a Striping or
Spanning array containing a “bad” drive. These drives do NOT need to be replaced, however.
