Owner's manual

• Authentication Status—Displays the authentication status for this device. The following values
are valid:
◦ Authentication Passed—The physical drive has passed all authentication tests and has
been validated to be a genuine HP hard drive.
◦ Authentication Failed—The physical drive could not be authenticated as a genuine HP
hard drive. The array controller will no longer control the drive LEDs. Replace the hard
drive with a genuine HP hard drive.
◦ Unknown—The Storage Agents cannot determine the physical drive's authentication
status.
• Capacity—Displays the size of the physical drive.
• Model—Displays a description of the physical drive. The text depends on the manufacturer
of the drive and the drive type.
If a drive fails, note the model to identify the type of drive necessary for replacement.
• Firmware Version—Displays the physical drive firmware version number. Make sure you have
the most recent version of the firmware because older versions may not support all of the
newest features.
• Smart Carrier Application Firmware Version—Displays the physical drive smart carrier
application firmware version number of the Smart Carrier that passed authentication.
• Smart Carrier Bootloader Firmware Version—Displays the physical drive smart carrier
bootloader firmware version number of the Smart Carrier that passed authentication.
• Serial Number—Displays the serial number assigned to the physical drive. This value is based
on the serial number as returned by the SCSI inquiry command but may be modified due to
space limitations. This item can be used for identification purposes.
• Service Hours—Displays the current number of hours of service (the number of hours that a
physical drive has been spinning) since the drive was stamped. The drive was stamped when
it left the factory.
For example, if the Current Service Hours value is 604, the drive has been operating for 604
hours. If an error occurred at 499 Service Hours, it occurred after 499 hours of service.
• S.M.A.R.T. Support—Indicates whether or not the SCSI physical drive supports S.M.A.R.T. The
possible values are:
◦ Available—This drive supports predictive failure monitoring.
◦ Not available—Predictive failure monitoring is not available for this drive.
◦ Unknown—The Storage Agents cannot determine if the drive supports predictive failure
monitoring. You may need to upgrade your driver or Storage Agents.
NOTE: A value of Unknown indicates that the agents cannot determine this information
from the physical drive.
• Current Width—Displays the current negotiated data transfer width for a SCSI physical drive.
The possible values are:
◦ Narrow (8 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this drive is narrow (8 data bits).
◦ Wide (16 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this drive is wide (16 data bits).
◦ Unknown—The Storage Agents are unable to determine the current negotiated data
transfer width for this drive.
