Checking Unit and Drive Status

The information screens in 3DM let you see both summary and detailed information about your 3ware RAID controller, configured units, and available drives in 3DM. You can quickly see the status of your controller and drives, and drill down to find details about any units or drives that have problems.

A status column on the controller, unit, and drive information pages lets you quickly see whether everything is working (OK), performing a task (such as initializing, verifying, or rebuilding), or has a problem (error, degraded, warning).

The next figure illustrates how you can drill down to get additional detail about units and drives in your system.
