Disk and volume status

Disk status:
Foreign:a dynamic disk from another computer is installed in a new computer. -->import Foreign Disk.

Missing:a dynamic disk is corrupted or disconnected. After the disk is repaired or reconnected, Reactivate Disk.

Offline: a dynamic disk might be corrupted or is only intermittently available. An error icon appears on the offline disk. REACTIVATE DISK may be used.

Online(error):I/O errors have been detected on a part of the disk. A warning icon appears on the disk.

Volume status:
  • Failed
  • Failed Redundancy:volume with failed redundancy can still be accessed but performance is not good. If a RAID 5 volume is available but slow, check whether one of the disks in a RAID-5 set has failed or gone offline.
  • Healthy(at Rsik): caused by bad sectors on the disk. If Reactivate DISK doesn't work, replace the disk.
