Array Properties: This screen displays the Array Properties. Each field is described in the table below:

 

Field

Description

Mode

This field displays the MegaRAID controller's RAID level. IDE RAID supports RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID level 10.

Status

This field displays the health of the array. The array health status can be one of the following:

  • On Line - Working within normal parameters.
  • Off Line - All drives have failed.
  • Deteriorated - One of the drives has failed.

Logical Drive

This field displays the Logical drive letters or volume names.

Stripe Size

This field displays the stripe size. A stripe size is the minimal amount of data that can be written to the drive in one write.

Note: RAID level 1 does not have a stripe size parameter. Stripe size parameters are available for RAID level 0 and RAID level 10 array sets only. The stripe size parameter can only be set when the array is created. See the hardware manual for your MegaRAID IDE controller for more information.

Capacity

This field displays the actual size of the array. This size is reported to Operating System.

Error Threshold

This parameter is user defined. Users can define the error threshold on each drive. For more information on how to set the error threshold, see the Advanced menu description.

Constituent Physical Drives

This field displays the physical drives joined to an array.
