• Recovering appears when repairing a RAID 1 volume. (A RAID1 volume was
once degraded, but you have installed a new disk and the NSA is restoring the
RAID1 volume to a healthy state.)
• Degraded when a volume is currently down, but can be fixed. Data access may
be slower from a degraded volume, so it’s recommended that you replace the
faulty disk and repair the volume as soon as you can.
• Inactive when a disk is missing from a RAID 0 volume or a two-disk JBOD
volume. The volume is unusable. If you removed one of the disks you should be
able to re-install it and use the volume again (as long as you did not change
anything on the disk). If a disk has failed, you need to replace it and re-create
the whole volume. All data will be lost. See page 354 for how to install or
replace a hard drive.
• Down when a volume is down and can not be fixed.
A down RAID volume cannot be used until you repair or replace the faulty disk(s)
in the volume. Degraded means one of the disks in the RAID volume is not
available but the volume can still be used. For a degraded volume, you should
replace the faulty disk as soon as possible to obtain previous performance. See
your Quick Start Guide for more information on replacing a disk.
If it’s down, then the only indication is that you can no longer transfer files to/from
the shares in the down volume. If it’s degraded, then file transfer to/from the
shares in the degraded volume will be slower.
Note: There is no explicit message from CIFS that tells users their volume is
degraded or down.
7.4 Editing a Volume
Click an internal volume’s Edit icon in the Storage screen as shown in Figure 75
on page 161 to open the following screen. Use this screen to change the volume’s
name.
