Figure 86: Physical Drive Screen
The drive properties are view-only and are self-explanatory. Note that the properties
include the state of the drive.
Operations you can perform are listed at the bottom of the screen. After you select an
operation, click Go to start the operation. The operations vary depending on the drive
state. If the drive state is Online, the following operations appear.
Select MakeDriveOffline if you want to force the drive offline.
NOTE: If you force offline a good drive that is part of a redundant drive group with a hot
spare, the drive will rebuild to the hot spare drive. The drive you forced offline will go
into the Unconfigured Bad state. Access the BIOS utility to set the drive to the
Unconfigured Good state.
Select Locate to make the LED flash on the drive. This works only if the drive is
installed in a drive enclosure.
If the drive state is Unconfigured Good, four additional operations appear on this
screen.
Select Make Global HSP to make a global hot spare, available to all of the virtual
drives.
Select Make Dedicated HSP to make a hot spare dedicated to a specific virtual
drive.
