RAID Disk Specifies whether the disk is part of a RAID virtual disk (Yes or No). This field is grayed
out under the following conditions:
• The disk does not meet the minimum requirements for use in a RAID virtual disk.
• The disk is not large enough to mirror existing data on the primary physical disk.
• The disk is a part of another virtual disk.
Pred Fail Indicates whether device SMART is predicting device failure
Drive Status The physical disk drive status
• Ok : Disk is online and fully functional
•
Missing : Disk is not detected
•
Failed : Disk is not accessible or has reported a failure
•
Initing : Disk is initializing
•
Offline : Disk is offline for some other reason
•
Inactive : Disk has been set inactive
•
Not Syncd : Data on disk is not synchronized with the rest of the virtual disk
•
Primary : Disk is the primary disk for a 2-disk mirror and is OK
•
Secondary : Disk is the secondary disk for a 2-disk mirror and is OK
•
Wrg Type : Device is not compatible for use as part of the RAID virtual disk
•
Too Small : Disk is too small to mirror existing data
•
Max Dsks : Maximum # of disks allowed for this type of virtual disk reached

Size (MB) The coerced size of the physical disk in MB (1 MB = (1024 x 1024) = 1,048,576 bytes).
NOTE: Disk coercion is used to ensure the disks are the same size. In virtual disks consisting
of different sized physical disks, excess space on larger physical disks is unusable.
