Troubleshooting
Status: (Functional, Critical, Offline)
Functional: Means that the array is providing full functionality.
Critical: Used only in reference to a Mirroring array (RAID 1 or
RAID 0+1). A problem has been detected in one of the drives
of the array and the drive has been taken “offline.” However,
a “critical” array will continue to save and retrieve data from
the remaining working drive(s). Promise recommends
replacing the failed drive as soon as possible since a
“Critical” array offers no data redundancy.
Offline: This would appear most commonly within a RAID 0 or
Spanning array. The “Offline” results from a drive having
failed which has taken the entire array “offline.” In this case,
you have likely lost data. Fix/replace the drive that has
failed, then restore data from a backup source.
