Show Unit Information Page

The Unit Information page appears when you choose Information >> Unit Information from the menu bar, or when you click an ID number on the Controller Summary page.

This page shows a list of the units on the current controller and provides summary information about each unit.

To see details about a particular unit, click the link in the Unit # column.

Unit #. The unit number assigned to the unit by the firmware.

Name. If a name has been given to this unit, it shows here. If it is empty, no name has been assigned. You can name your unit in the Unit Names section of the Management >> Controller Settings page.

Type. The type of unit, specified during configuration: RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50, or Single Disk. For details about each of the RAID levels, see Available RAID Configurations.

Capacity. The logical capacity (size) of the unit. (1 KB defined as 1024 bytes)

Status. The operational status of the unit: OK, Rebuilding, Initializing, Migrating, Verifying, Degraded, or Inoperable (missing drives). When a unit is Rebuilding, Initializing, Migrating, or Verifying, the percentage (%) complete is also shown. For an explanation of the statuses, see Unit Statuses.


	Note: If an asterisk (*) appears next to the status of a unit, there is an error on one of the drives in the unit. This feature provides a diagnostic capability for potential problem drives. The error may not be a repeated error, and may be caused by an ECC error, SMART failure, or a device error. To see if this error condition still exists, rescan the controller; rescanning will clear the drive error status if the condition no longer exists.

Identify. Check this box to cause the LED for the drives associated with this unit to blink in the enclosure. If the box is grayed, identify is not supported.
