Protection (Shield)
The Protection (Shield) function diagnoses temporary drive errors. A drive can continue to be used if it is deter-
mined to be normal. The target drive temporarily changes to diagnosis status when drive errors are detected by
the Disk Drive Patrol function or error notifications.
For a drive that configures a RAID group, data is moved to a hot spare by a rebuild or redundant copy before the
drive is diagnosed. For a drive that is disconnected from a RAID group, whether the drive has a permanent error
or a temporary error is determined. The drive can be used again if it is determined that the drive has only a
temporary error.
The target drives of the Protection (Shield) function are all the drives that are registered in RAID groups or regis-
tered as hot spares. Note that the Protection (Shield) function is not available for unused drives.
The Protection (Shield) function can be enabled or disabled. This function is enabled by default.
