Disk Array Degraded
Disk arrays are made up of physical drives. Logical drives are created on
the disk array. When one of the physical drives in a disk array fails, a
RAID 1, 5 and 10 volume will (or in the case of a RAID 6, two drives must
fail):
The operational status of the disk array becomes Degraded.
The operational status of logical drives becomes Critical.
The operational status of physical drive becomes Dead or Offline.
Disk Array Offline
When a disk array and its logical drives go Offline, the data stored in the
logical drives is no longer accessible.
Logical drives based on fault-tolerant disk arrays, RAID 1, 5, and 10, go
Offline when two physical drives are removed or fail.
RAID 6 can continue to operate when two physical drives are removed
or fail. It will fail when three physical drives are removed or fail.
Logical drives based on non-fault tolerant disk arrays, RAID 0, go
Offline when a one physical drive is removed or fails.
