LenelS2 EVA 54 User Manual 

•  Number of Logical Drives 
•  Available RAID Levels 

Other lists in this menu: 

•  Physical Drives in the Disk Array 
•  Logical Drives in the Disk Array 
•  Available Spare Drives to the Disk Array 

Disk Array Operational Status 

OK 

– This is the normal state of a logical drive. When a logical drive is Functional, it 

is ready for immediate use. For RAID Levels other than RAID 0, the logical drive has 
full redundancy. 

Synchronizing 

– This condition is temporary. Synchronizing is a maintenance 

function that verifies the integrity of data and redundancy in the logical drive. When a 
logical drive is Synchronizing, it will function and your data is available. However, 
access will be slower due to the synchronizing operation. 

Critical / Degraded 

– This condition arises as the result of a physical drive failure. A 

degraded logical drive will still function and your data is still available. However, the 
logical drive has lost redundancy (fault tolerance). You must determine the cause of 
the problem and correct it. 

Rebuilding 

– This condition is temporary. When a physical drive has been replaced, 

the logical drive automatically begins rebuilding in order to restore redundancy (fault 
tolerance). When a logical drive is rebuilding, it will function and your data is 
available. However, access will be slower due to the rebuilding operation. 

Logical drive management 

Logical drives are made from disk arrays. In the Tree, you can see a graphic 
representation of the logical drives that belong to each array. The Logical Drive List 
can be accessed in Tree View by expanding the under Disk Arrays and clicking on 
the Logical Drives icon for any existing disk array, or simply click on the Logical Drive 
Summary icon for the Subsystem. 

Click on any Logical Drive (LD) in the list to view Information and Statistics, to 
change Settings (Alias, Read Policy, Write Policy), to start Background Activities 
(Initialization, Redundancy Check), or to view the Check Table for the LD. 

Information displayed in the menu includes: 

•  Logical Drive ID 
•  Alias 
•  Raid Level 
•  Operational Status 
•  Capacity 
•  Physical Capacity 
•  Number of Axles [#] 
•  Number of Used Physical Drives [#] 
•  Stripe Size
