Functional
- The array is operational.
Critical
- A mirrored array contains a drive that has failed or
disconnected. The remaining drive member in the array is functional.
However, the array has temporarily lost its ability to provide fault
tolerance. The user should identify the failed drive through the
FastBuild
Setup utility, and then replace the problem drive.
Offline
- A mirrored array has 2 drives that have
failed/disconnected or a striped array has 1 drive that has failed
or been disconnected. When the array condition is “offline,” the
user must replace the failed drive(s), then restore data from a
backup source.
