as shown in

Figure 9.16

.

If multiple arrays are defined, press Alt+N to view the next array. Press
C to start creating a new array.

Drive Status

The possible drive statuses are as follows:

Ok: Disk is online and fully functional

Missing: Disk is not responding

Failed: Disk has failed

Initing: Disk is initializing

CfgOffln: Disk is offline at host’s request

UserFail: Disk is marked failed at host’s request

Offline: Disk is offline for some other reason

Inactive: Disk has been set inactive

Not Syncd: Data on disk is not synchronized with the rest of the array

Primary: Disk is the primary disk for a 2-disk mirror and is OK

Secondary: Disk is the secondary disk for a 2-disk mirror and is OK

Wrg Type: Device is not compatible for use as part of a RAID array

Too Small: Disk is too small to mirror existing data

Max Dsks: Maximum # of disks allowed for this type of array reached, or
Maximum # of total IR disks on a controller reached

No SMART: Disk doesn’t support SMART, cannot be used in an array

Wrg Intfc: Device interface (SAS/SATA) differs from existing IR disks

Pred Fail

Indicates whether SMART is predicting device failure (Yes or No).

Size(MB)

The size of the device, in megabytes. If the device is part of a two-disk array, this
field reflects the size of the array, not the size of the individual disk.
If the device is part of an array of three or more disks, this field is the size that the
disk makes up within the array.
Note: When creating a striped array, the usable size of the array is determined by

the number of drives, multiplied by the size of the smallest drive in the array.
In arrays consisting of different sized drives, excess space on larger drives is
unusable.
