Status messages you may see on the status line:
Initializing, indicated by "Initializing"
Degraded, indicated by "Degraded"
Resyncing, indicated by "Resyncing x%"
Recovering, indicated by "Recovering x%"
Drive Removed, indicated by "Drive 'n' removed" where 'n' corresponds the drive number
of a drive that has either failed or been physically removed. Drives are numbered 0
through 3, 0 is the leftmost drive when viewing from the front of the unit.
"Recovering" or "Resyncing" is the process by which the array controller creates the data parity
information or corrects data parity errors that may have occurred because of power loss,
incorrect shutdown or some other data error.
The term "degraded" refers to the state of the Array data, not necessarily the hardware or disk
drives themselves. It indicates that the parity information that protects the data is not up to date.
Parity errors may occur if the TSS-2470 Time Delay loses power, or is improperly shut off. No
data will be lost, but the parity re-initialization process may take several hours. NEVER directly
unplug the power cords from the unit without first properly shutting down the system. Shut
down the system only by momentarily pressing the front panel Power button or selecting Start >
Shutdown > Shutdown from the graphic user interface.
Note that in some cases the power may not automatically shut off after a Shutdown is executed.
If the system does not turn itself off within three minutes, force the power off by holding the
Power switch in until the unit turns off.
