Figure 3-133: AutoMAID Statistics page
The AutoMAID Statistics page reports power savings since the Clear Statistics button was last clicked. The
exact reporting period is shown above the Clear Statistics button. Statistics are listed first by enclosure and
then by array. The statistics listed are:
Array name : The name of each array in the unit, plus a row for unused and spare disks. There is also a
Total line that summarizes statistics across all disk drives.
This list can include names of arrays that no longer exist, but did exist at any time during the reporting
period.
Time at MAID Level : The percentage of time during the reporting period that the drives in each array or
category have been at the specified AutoMAID level:
Active : The percentage of time that the drives have been active and at full power.
Idle : The percentage of time that the drives’ read/write heads have been parked (AutoMAID level 1).
Slow : The percentage of time that the drives’ disk platters have been spun down to a slower speed
(AutoMAID level 2).
Stopped : The percentage of time that the drives’ disk platters have been spun down completely
(AutoMAID level 3).
Off : The percentage of time that the drives’ electronics have been completely powered down
(AutoMAID level 4).
