Logical drive states
Blocked
logical drive
During a rebuild operation, the
ServeRAID controller sets the state of any RAID level-0 logical drives associated
with a failed array to the Blocked state; then, it reconstructs the data that
was stored in RAID level-1 and RAID level-5 logical drives.
After the Rebuild operation completes,
you can unblock the RAID level-0 logical drives, and access them once again. However,
the logical drive might contain corrupt data. You must either re-create, re-install,
or restore the data from the most recent backup disk or tape to the RAID level-0
logical drive.
Critical
logical drive
A RAID level-1 or RAID level-5 logical
drive that contains a defunct physical drive is in the critical state. A critical
logical drive is accessible, despite a physical drive failure.
If the state of the logical drive is
critical, you must replace and rebuild the defunct drive.
Critical
migrating logical drive
A logical drive undergoing a logical-drive
migration is in the critical state.
Critical
system logical drive
The ServeRAID controller uses this
reserved state during a logical-drive migration and the logical drive is in the
critical state.
Migrating
logical drive
A logical drive undergoing a logical-drive
migration is in the Okay state.
Offline
logical drive
The logical drive is offline and not
accessible. This state occurs if one or more physical drives in a RAID level-0
logical drive are defunct. This state also occurs when two or more physical drives
in a RAID level-1 or RAID level-5 logical drive are defunct.
Okay
logical drive
The drive is okay. It is in a good,
functional state.
System
logical drive
The ServeRAID controller uses this
reserved state during logical-drive migration.
