3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide
000C Initialize started
The 3ware RAID controller notifies you by this message whenever it starts an
initialization. This is always a “synching” background initialization and does
not erase user data. Initialization either occurs at unit creation time for larger
RAID 5 or 50 units or later during the initial verification of redundant units.
For more information, see “About Initialization” on page 148
000D Unit deleted
The unit was deleted.
The controller firmware will warn you and request confirmation before
deleting units that are mounted and known to the operating system. You
should unmount any units that you plan to delete. Note that deleting a unit
will erase all data on that unit.
000E Initialize failed
The 3ware RAID controller was unable to complete the initialization. This
error can be caused by unrecoverable drive errors.
If this unit was a redundant unit, and the 'initialize failed' happened because of
a problem on a particular disk drive, then the unit will be degraded on that
disk drive's port.
000F SMART threshold exceeded
The 3ware RAID controller supports SMART Monitoring, whereby the
individual drives automatically monitor certain parametric information such
as error rates and retry counts. By monitoring this data, SMART may be able
to predict a drive failure before it happens, allowing you to schedule service
of the unit before it becomes degraded. The SMART status of each drive
attached to the 3ware RAID controller is monitored daily. If a failure of any
drive is determined to be likely, you are notified by this message.
3ware recommends that you replace any drive that has the SMART threshold
exceeded.
If the drive is part of a redundant unit, then you can 'Remove' the drive with
3DM2 to degrade the unit. Replace the drive and start a rebuild. For
information on rebuilds, see “Rebuilding Units” on page 155.
If the drive is not part of a redundant unit, then you will need to backup your
data before replacing the drive.
