The following table lists the minimum and maximum number of disks for

4.2 Understanding Array and Disk States
The controller uses states to report the status of arrays and disks. To
ensure the health of your data, it is important to understand what each
array and disk state means as well as what causes them to change.
Array States
Within the management applications, an array is a logical device that can
exist in one of three states: NORMAL, CRITICAL, or OFFLINE. In
RAIDConsole, these states are shown in the
Array List
area in a column
named
State
. Within the bcadm program, these states also shown in the
column named
State
. The states are defined as follows:
Whether an array is marked as CRITICAL or OFFLINE depends on the
type of array and how many disks within the array have failed. Note the
following changes in state:
