Managing Arrays & Partitions

C.2.1 Viewing Array and Drive Status Information

Array and drive status information is available in two ways:

• View array status (see 

page 117

)

• View drive status (see 

page 119

)

C.2.1.1

Viewing Array Status

You can view the status of an array, including the following information:

• State: Online, Offline, Critical, or Fault-tolerant.

• Serial number: Unique number the Galaxy 65 Subsystem assigns to each array.

• Name: Name you give to the array.

• RAID level: Array type (0, 3, 4, 5, 50, Volume, or Mirrored). The term “mirrored” is used for both RAID 

1 and RAID 10 arrays.

• Number of drives: Number of drives in the array when fault-tolerant. For example, if a three-drive 

RAID 5 array loses one drive, the number will still display 3.

• Number of drives per subarray: For RAID 50 only; number of drives in each underlying RAID 5 array.

• Number of spare drives: Number of spare drives dedicated to this array.

• Size: Size of the entire array (expressed in MB or GB for arrays larger than 10 GB).

• Chunk size: Array’s chunk size.

• Date created: Date the array was created.

• Utility: Utility running (None, Verify, Reconstruct, Expand, or Initialize).

• Number of partitions: Number of partitions created on the array.

• Free partition total: Amount of free space (no partition) on the array.

To view the status of an array:

1

From the System Menu, select 

Array Menu 

and press 

Enter

.

The Select Array screen displays with a list of existing arrays.
