Managing Arrays
The Disk Array Administrator allows the management of arrays, including:
• View array and drive status
• Stop the initialization process
• Add a partition
• Verify an array
• Reconstruct an array
• Expand array capacity
• Change array name
• Change array ownership
• Trust array
• Delete array
Viewing Array and Drive Status Information
Array and drive status information is available in two (2) ways:
• View array status
• View drive status
Viewing Array Status
This function allows the user to view the status of an array, including:
• State - Online, Offline, Critical, or Fault-tolerant
• Serial Number - A unique number the controller assigns to each array.
• Name - The name given to the array.
• RAID Level - Array type (0, 3, 4, 5, 50, Volume, or Mirrored). The term "mirrored"
is used for both RAID 1 and RAID 10 arrays.
• Number of Drives - The number of drives in the array when fault-tolerant (for
example, if a three drive RAID 5 array was created and one drive is lost, the number
will still show three drives).
