6.2 Managing Arrays
SAM lets you manage your arrays in a variety of ways. You can:
• View array and drive status (see page 88 )
• View and reset array statistics (see page 89 )
• Verify an array (see page 91 )
• Change array owner (see page 92 )
• Change the array name (see page 93 )
• Trust an array (see page 93 )
• Delete an array (see page 95 )
6.2.1 Viewing Array and Drive Status Information
Array status information is available from many pages in SAM. The top
panel on all “Disk Array Config” and “LUN Management” pages displays
an icon for each array with information about the array below it.
In this top panel, critical arrays display a blinking, red, and exclamation
mark through the array. If a utility is running on the array, the
percentage of completion is displayed. If any array is critical for any
reason other than initializing or reconstructing, you should review the
status information and take the appropriate action, such as replacing a
disk drive.
More detailed array and drive information is available from three pages
(for information about the fields on each page, click the
