Logical Drive State Definitions
The status column of the Logical Drive Summary in the sautil <device_file> command
output example indicates the logical drive state. Logical drive states provide useful troubleshooting
information. Use the following logical drive state definitions to interpret the logical drive status.
Logical drive state definitions are also included in the sautil manpage.
OK All physical disks in the logical drive are operational.
FAILED Possible causes are as follows:
1. Multiple physical disks in a fault-tolerant (RAID 1,
1+0, 5, ADG) logical drive have failed.
2. One or more disks in a RAID 0 logical drive have
failed.
3. Cache data loss has occurred.
4. Array expansion was aborted.
5. The logical drive is temporarily disabled because
another logical drive on the controller had a missing
disk at power on.
USING INTERIM RECOVERY
MODE
Also known as "degraded" state. A physical disk in a fault
tolerant logical drive has failed. For RAID 1, 1+0 or 5, data
loss can result if a second disk fails. For RAID ADG, data
loss can result if two additional disks fail.
READY FOR RECOVERY
OPERATION
A replacement disk is present, but rebuild has not started
yet (another logical drive may be currently rebuilding).
The logical drive also returns to this state if the rebuild had
been aborted due to unrecoverable read errors from
another disk.
