| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| CDR | CD-ROM drive installed. |
| DDD | Defunct. The drive is an online or hot-spare |
| drive that does not respond to commands. | |
| If a RDY drive is defunct or powered down, | |
| it shows as an empty bay (a blank status), | |
| not a DDD status. | |
| FMT | Format. The drive is being reformatted. |
| HSP | Hot spare. The drive will replace a similar drive that |
| becomes defunct in real time. | |
| At that time, its status changes to ONL, and its array | |
| association is displayed. | |
| OFL | Offline. The drive is a good drive that has replaced a |
| defunct drive in a RAID level 1 or level 5 array. | |
| It is associated with an array, but does not contain | |
| any valid data. | |
| The drive state remains OFL during the rebuild phase. | |
| ONL | Online. The drive is part of an array. |
| If this drive fails, logical drives defined in the array | |
| in which this drive is grouped will have a status of Offline | |
| (if the logical drive is assigned RAID level 0 with a | |
| good status) or Critical (if the logical drive is | |
| assigned RAID level 1 or level 5 with a good status). | |
| RDY | Ready. The drive is recognized by the adapter and is |
| available for definition. | |
| TAP | Tape drive installed. |
| UFM | Unformatted. The drive requires a low-level |
| format before it can be used in an array. | |
| Blank Status | Any of the following circumstances |
| can cause the area to be blank | |
| ° No hard disk drive is installed in that bay | |
| ° The bay contains a hard disk drive, but the | |
| drive is not inserted correctly. | |
| ° An array was deleted and a defective drive is | |
| still in the bay. | |
| ° A new drive was installed and the configuration | |
| program has not been restarted. (The status will | |
| change to RDY when the RAID configuration | |
| program is restarted). |
