Viewing Array Status
You can view the status of an array, including the following information:
!
State—Online, Offline, Critical, or Fault-tolerant.
!
Name—The name given to the array.
!

is used for both RAID 1 and RAID 10 arrays.
!
# of Drives—Number of drives in the array when fault-tolerant. For example, if
you create a three-drive RAID-5 array and lose one drive, the number will still
display 3.
!
# of Spares—Number of spare drives dedicated to this array.
!
LUN #—LUN presented to the host system.
!

10 GB).
