Storage array properties
Property | Description |
---|---|
Name | The user-friendly name of the array set by the controller. The name cannot be modified. |
State | Health state of the array. The health of the array is determined by the overall status of the array and the inherited status of the physical drives in the array.
|
Total Size | The total available size of the array. |
Used Size | The total space used by the array. |
Smart Array controller | The Smart Array controller associated with the array. |
Hot Spares | The number of replacement drives assigned to the array. Hot spares are replacements for failed drives. If a drive fails, the hot spare is used to rebuild the array. |
Resiliency setting | The
RAID level of the array, is used as a default when creating a new logical drive on the array. If the array is created for a specific RAID level, the capacity is based on the specified RAID level.
RAID10 is suggested for arrays using up to four physical drives and RAID 6 for arrays using more than four physical drives. |
Physical Drives | The number of physical drives that make up the array. |
Logical Drives | The name of the logical drive that was created from the array. |
Utilization | The free, allocated, and total space used by the array. The management console uses color coding to depict the utilization.
|
RAID level | Conditions that could trigger a critical state for a storage array: | Conditions that could trigger a warning state for a storage array: |
---|---|---|
RAID0 | If at least 1 physical drive is in a critical state. | If at least 1 physical drive is in a warning or unknown state. |
RAID1 | If 1 or more physical drives are in critical state. | If 1 or more physical drives are in a warning state. |
RAID 6 | If 2 or more physical drives are in critical state. | If less than 2 physical drives and at least 1 physical drive are in critical state, or, if 1 or more physical drives are in a warning/unknown state. |
RAID 10 | If 50% or more of the physical drive are in critical state. | If less than 50% of the physical drives are in critical state, and at least 1 physical drive is in a warning/unknown state; or, if at least 1 physical drive is in a warning state/unknown state. |
RAID 60 | If 4 or more physical drives are in critical state. | If more than 4 physical drives are in a warning/unknown state, or, if 4 or less physical drives are in critical state and at least 1 physical drive is in a warning/unknown state. |
RAID 1 ADM | If 2 or more physical drives are in critical state. | If 2 or more physical drives are in a warning/unknown state, or, if 1 physical drive is in critical state and at least 1 physical drive is in a warning/unknown state. |
RAID 10 ADM | If 1/3 or more of the physical drives are in critical state. | If 2/3 or more of the physical drives are in a warning/unknown state, or, if 1/3 or less of the physical drives are in a critical state and at least 1 physical drive is in a warning/unknown state. |
