Viewing Drive Status

This function allows the user to view the status of the drives in an array, including:

• Drive Number - The drive's sequential position in the controller's drive list.
• Drive Status - Indicates the condition of the drive (whether it is up or down).
• Channel Number - Back-end disk bus number.
• Target ID
•
Size - Size of the drive in MB.
• Status - Indicates the array name and member number (if drive is part of an array).

If the drive is not part of an array, it will indicate status as "Available". If the drive

was part of an array that no longer exists, it will indicate status as "Leftover".

NOTE:

The drive may not be listed if it has failed or malfunctioned.

The Select Array screen should now display, along with a list of existing arrays (Figure

The Drive Status screen should now display, showing all drives that are members of

the array as well as those assigned as dedicated spares (Figure 19).
