Managing Arrays

The LSI Storage Authority application lets you monitor the status of arrays and spanned arrays. The following lists the array states:

• Optimal: An array whose members are all online.
• Partially Degraded: An array with a redundant RAID level that can sustain one or more member disk failure.
• Degraded: An array with a redundant RAID level with one or more member failures and can no longer sustain a subsequent drive failure (with the exception in PRL-11).
• Offline: An array with one or more member disk failures and data is no longer available
