been configured.

If you have more than one unit, the boot unit is the one at the top of the
list. (You can change the order by highlighting a unit and pressing the

PgUp

or

PgDn

key.)

Unusable Arrays

lists any RAID configuration missing too many drives

to construct the unit. For example, a RAID 5 unit with two or more drives
missing appears in this list.

Incomplete Drives and Others

lists drives that are remaining from a unit

with missing or failed drives and drives that are not usable.

When some of the drives are remaining from a unit, you can power down
and add the missing drives to complete the unit. To use drives that are
listed here in other units, you must first delete them. For more
information, see “Deleting a Unit” on page 121.

If any of the sections are not shown, it means that there are no items of that
