Switching the drive state
The storage controller supports the following drive states:
Unconfigured Good—The drive is normal and can be used for RAID array or hot backup
configuration.
Unconfigured Bad—The drive is faulty or has RAID array information remaining on it. If the
drive is faulty, replace the drive. If RAID array information remains on the drive, clear the RAID
array information.
Hotspare—The drive is a hot spare drive.
JBOD/JBOD online—Just a Bunch Of Disks. The drive is a passthrough or passthrough-like
drive and does not support RAID configuration. The passthrough drive is in JBOD online state
by default for the RAID-LSI-9560-LP-16i-8GB storage controller and in JBOD state for other
storage controllers.
To switch from Unconfigured Good state to Unconfigured Bad state:
1. On the storage controller configuration screen as shown in Figure 5, select Drive
Management and press Enter.
