Failed Status

A logical drive status of Failed occurs when two or more drives have failed in the same array, or one or more drives have failed in a RAID 0 array. All the logical drives on the array are no longer operating. This is the most serious status for a logical drive and in a RAID 1, 3, or 5 array. You have lost data unless you erroneously removed the second drive and it was actually Optimal and NOT failed. (In a RAID 0 array, you have lost data.) Use the Recovery Guru to restore your array to Optimal status. A failed logical drive is represented by this icon in the Subsystem Management Window Logical View.

Physical components such as controllers, drives, power supplies, and so on can also have Failed status, and icons reflecting a status change to Failed are shown in the Subsystem Management Window Physical View. For more information, see Using the Subsystem Management Window.
