Table 19. Physical Drive Tabs
Physical Drive Help
To quickly access additional help regarding physical drive actions and tabs, click on the
Get Help button in the Shared Drive help box located under the action box.
Clear PFA State
Sets the drive state to OK. The Predictive Failure (PFA) State
indicates that the background PFA scan found bad data blocks or
sectors on the drive.
Clear Stale State
Sets the drive state to OK. Clear Stale State is present if a drive is in
a stale state (the drive has obsolete array information). This can
occur when the drive is taken offline by the user, by physically
removing the drive or by a disk error. When the storage pool is
rebuilt to correct for the missing drive, the drive is marked as ‘stale’.
Start Data Migration
Enables an IT administrator to move data from a defective physical
disk drive to a good physical disk drive.
