Status Reporting

Status is reported by RAID controllers for arrays and drives. Some
status conditions are indicated by Storage Manager through status
flags on the drive or array icons. More detailed status information
can be obtained by viewing the Information window for that drive
or array. Changes in status conditions are logged and can also be
broadcast to selected recipients.
The general status conditions that can be indicated for drives or
arrays are listed below. The actual status message may include
additional details:
