Managing Logical Drives
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. You can see a summary of all logical drives in the subsystem under Logical Drive
Summary.
that belong to each array. You can see a summary of all logical drives in the subsystem under Logical Drive
Summary.

Logical Drive 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 (Striping), 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.
and your data is available. However, access will be slower due to the synchronizing operation.
•
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.
rebuilding, it will function and your data is available. However, access will be slower due to the rebuilding
operation.
•
Critical
– 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.
must determine the cause of the problem and correct it.
•
Offline
– This condition arises as the result of a second physical drive failure. An Offline logical drive is not
accessible but some or all of your data may remain intact. You must determine the cause of the problem and
correct it.
correct it.
•
Transport Ready
– After you perform a successful Prepare for Transport operation, this condition means you
can remove the physical drives of this disk array and move them to another enclosure or different drive slots.
After you relocate the physical drives, the disk array status will show OK.
After you relocate the physical drives, the disk array status will show OK.
