Physical Disk State Definitions
The status column of the SCSI Device Summary in the sautil <device_file> command output example
also provides useful troubleshooting information. Refer to the following physical disk state definitions to
interpret the status of physical disks (the physical disk state definitions are also included in the sautil
manpage).
Physical Disk State Definitions:
OK The physical disk is configured in one or more logical
drives and is operational.
SPARE The physical disk is configured as a spare disk.
UNASSIGNED The physical disk has not been configured in any logical
drives.
FAILED The configured physical disk has failed.
