The array status consists of three possible conditions: Functional, Critical,
Off-line.
Functional - The array is operational.
Critical - A mirroring array contains a drive that has failed or disconnected.
The remaining drive member in the array is functional. However, the array
has temporarily lost its ability to provide fault tolerance. The user should
identify the failed drive through the FastBuild
replace the problem drive.
Off-line - A striped array having only 1 drive has failed or been disconnected.
When the array condition is "Off-line", the user must replace the failed drive (s),
then restore data from a backup source.
