Netware Error and Informational Messages

The FastTrak100 TX/LP series Netware driver will display error and other
informational messages to the console.
"Warning...Master/Slave Device on Channel [1/2] for Promise
RAID [0/1/0+1] Deactivated"
A problem has been detected in one of the drives of the array and the drive has been
taken "offline."
If this is a RAID 0 or Spanning array, the entire array has been taken "offline" and you
have likely lost data. Fix/replace the drive that has failed, then restore data from a
backup source.
If this is a Mirroring array (RAID 1 or RAID 0+1) the array is in "critical" mode.
However, a "critical" array will continue to save and retrieve data from the remaining
working drive(s). Promise recommends replacing the failed drive as soon as possible
since a "Critical" array offers no data redundancy.
"Device on Channel [1/2] for "Mirror RAID Model" is Rebuilding"
This message will appear after a failed disk has been replaced with another drive. If
there is a "spare" unassigned drive present on the FastTrak100 a rebuild will
automatically be performed from the remaining working drive.
NOTE: During Array Rebuild, users may continue to access the array and perform
normal PC functions however the array will NOT provide data redundancy until
Rebuild is completed. If you choose to continue using the PC during rebuild, system
performance will be slightly degraded and the process will take longer.
"Device on Channel [1/2] for "Mirror RAID Model" Rebuild
Completed"
This message will be displayed when the array has completed rebuilding. The array is
now "functional" and fault tolerant.
