Wrg Type
Device is not compatible for use as part of an IM
array.
Too Small
Disk is too small to mirror existing data.
Max Dsks
Maximum # of disks allowed for this type of Array
reached and/or Maximum # of total IM disks on a
controller reached.
No SMART
Disk doesn't support SMART, cannot be used in an
RAID array.
Wrg Intfc
Device interface (SAS) differs from existing IM disks.
Pred Fail
Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure (Yes, No).
Size(MB)
Indicates the size of the device in megabytes (megabyte = 1024 x
1024 = 1,048,576). If the device is part of a two-disk array, this field
reflects the size of the array, not the size of the individual disk. If the
device is part of a three or more disk array, this field is the size that
the disk makes up within the array. When creating a striped array,
the usable size of the array is determined by the number of drives times
the size of the smallest drive in the array. In arrays consisting of
different sized drives, excess space on larger drives are unusable.
View Array Screen
The View Array screen enables you to view the current array configuration. To access the View
Array screen, press
Enter
on the View Existing Array field from the Select New Array Type screen.
You can perform the following actions on the View Array screen:
•
To view the next array, press

.
•
To create a new array, press
C
.
Array
Displays the number of this array.
Identifier
Displays the identifier of this array.
Type
Displays the RAID type.
Scan Order
Displays the scan order of the array.
Size (MB)
Displays the size of the array.
Status
Displays the status of the array.
Bay
Displays the bay in which devices are located.
Device Identifier
Displays the device identifier.
RAID Disk
Specifies the devices (disks) that make up an IM array. If RAID Disk is
Yes
, the device is part of an IM array, if
No
, the device is not part of
an IM array. This field is grayed out under the following conditions:
•
The device does not meet the minimum requirements for use in an
IM array.
•
The device is not large enough to mirror existing data on the
primary drive.
•
This disk has been selected as the hot spare for the IM array.
Hot Spr
Specifies whether a device is the hot spare for an IM array. If hot spare
is Yes, the device is used as a hot spare for the IM array, if No, the
device is not used as a hot spare for the IM array. Only one hot spare
per IM array is permitted. A hot spare is not required in an IM. A hot
spare can be specified at array creation, or any time after creation,
