Array has a bad or missing physical device

Has Failed Logical Device

One or more logical device(s) in the array has failed

Failed

A physical device or logical device in the array has failed.

Has Erasing Drive

The array currently has a drive erase operation queued, running, stopped or completed on a logical or physical device.

Spare Drive Size Too Small

The array has a spare drive assigned which is smaller than the smallest data drive in the array.

One or more logical drives undergoing or failed SED Qualification

The array has the logical device(s) with status as "SED Qualification in Progress" or "SED Qualification Failed".

Has Logical Drive with Foreign SED Indicates the presence of foreign logical device, which was imported from different controller.
Has Offline Logical Drive Array has offline or data locked logical device(s).

Status Details of a Logical Device

Status

Description

Optimal

The logical device is healthy and is readily accessible by the host

Queued for Expansion

The logical device is queued for expansion

Expanding

The logical device is undergoing online capacity expansion

Ready for Recovery

The logical device is queued to be recovered from a failed physical device

Recovering

The logical device is rebuilding a physical device from fault tolerant data

Wrong Drive Replaced

A wrong physical device was replaced

RPI In Progress

Rapid parity initialization is currently in progress on this logical device

RPI Queued

Rapid parity initialization is currently queued on this logical device. It will start once other progress tasks are completed.

Unsupported on The Controller

Logical device is unsupported on this controller. Host access to this volume is denied. Logical device can still be deletd/reconfigured with data loss.

Encrypted Logical Device Without Key

The encrypted logical device is exported from a foreign controller with different master key. Please import the foreign master key to access the logical device.

Encryption Migration

The logical device is being migrated between plaintext and ciphertext

Encrypted Logical Device Rekeying

The logical device is encrypted and all data is being re-keyed using the background 'online capacity expansion' transformation task. The cache memory is being used to keep track of progress.

Encrypted Logical Device With maxCrypto Off

The logical device is encrypted, exported from a foreign controller and cannot be accessed as the controller does not have encryption enabled/not configured.

Encryption Migration Requested

The logical device has received a request to migrate from plaintext to ciphertext. But this process has not yet started. The plaintext volume is currently online.

Encrypted Logical Device Rekey Requested

The logical device is encrypted and has received a request to re-key all data with a new encryption key

Unknown

The status of logical device is unknown

Erase In Progress

The logical device is offline and has erase in progress

Ejected

The logical device is offline from being ejected. Reinstall the removed physical devices.

Not Yet Available

An expand, shrink, or move operation on the array is in progress. This logical device will remain in this state until all expand, shrink, or move operations on this array are completed. All I/O requests sent to the logical drive in this state will be rejected.

Not Configured

The logical device is not yet configured

Interim Recovery

The logical device has a bad or missing drive. Logical device is operating with reduced performance and a further physical drive failure may result in data loss depending on the fault tolerance. To correct this problem, check the data and power connections to the physical drives or replace the failed drive.

Failed

The logical device has bad or missing physical device(s).

Disabled From SCSI ID Conflict

A conflict with an existing SCSI ID exists. Check all SCSI components to make sure they all have a unique SCSI ID.

Drive Improperly Connected

A physical device is not properly connected.

Hardware Has Overheated

A physical device temperature has crossed the threshold value.

Hardware Is Overheating

A physical device temperature is about to reach the threshold value.

Optimal(Background Parity Initialization)

Logical device is undergoing the Parity initialization in background.

Rapid Parity Initialization

Logical device is undergoing the Rapid Parity initialization and may not available until it is completed.

Offline Parity Initialization

Logical device is undergoing Offline parity initialization.

Logical Device Reconfiguring

Logical device is reconfiguring.

Plaintext Volume Rejected In Encrypting Mode

Logical device is plaintext and cannot be accessed as the controller is in encryption-only mode.

SED Qualification in Progress

This state indicates that the SED qualification is in progress.

SED Qualification Failed

This state indicates that the SED qualification is failed.

SED Locked Indicates the presence of foreign logical device, which was imported from different controller.
Data Locked Indicates that the controller is waiting on controller password. Data is locked out on the physical device.

Status Details of a Physical Device

Status

Details

Ready

The physical device is readily available for RAID configuration

Optimal

The physical device is part of an array/logical device

Waiting For Rebuild

The physical device is waiting to be rebuilt

Rebuilding

The data on the physical device is being rebuilt. The physical deice will be accessible. But performance will be less than optimal during the rebuilding process.

Queued For Erase

The physical device is currently queued for erase and the will not be available for use until the erase operation is completed

Erase In Progress

The physical device is currently being erased and the will not be available for use until the erase operation is completed

Erase Completed

Erase process has been completed on the physical device and the physical device is offline. The physical device may now be brought online through the initialize operation.

Erase Failed

The physical device erase process is failed and the is offline. The physical device may now be brought online through the initialize operation.

Erase Aborted

The physical device is offline due to a aborted erase process

Predictive Failure

This physical device is predicted to fail soon. Backup all the data on the drive and replace the drive.

Transient Data Drive

The physical device is in transition from being a member of an array to being an unassigned physical device as a result of shrink array/move array operation

Failed

The physical device is bad or missing

Failed Due To Predictive Spare Activation

The physical device has been failed by the controller after completing a predictive spare activation

Unsupported

The physical device is not supported by the controller

Not Supported

The controller firmware version does not support this physical device. Replace the physical device with the one supported by the controller.

Dedicated Hot Spare

A dedicated hot spare is assigned to one or more arrays.

Auto Replace Hot Spare

An auto-replace hot spare is assigned to a specific array. After using an auto-replace spare to rebuild a failed logical drive, it becomes a permanent part of the array.

Raw

A physical device is in RAW state which has no or unknown file system.

Size Not Valid

Physical device size is not valid.

Data Locked Indicates that the controller is waiting on controller password. Data is locked out on the physical device.
