RAID disk status
The RAID management page displays the status of each disk in the RAID array. The possible disk states are:
• OK: The hard drive is functioning normally.
• Rebuilding: The FortiAnalyzer unit is writing data to a newly added hard drive in order to restore the hard drive to an optimal state. The FortiAnalyzer unit is not fully fault tolerant until rebuilding is complete.
• Initializing: The FortiAnalyzer unit is writing to all the hard drives in the device in order to make the array fault tolerant.
• Verifying: The FortiAnalyzer unit is ensuring that the parity data of a redundant drive is valid.
• Degraded: The hard drive is no longer being used by the RAID controller.
• Inoperable: One or more drives are missing from the FortiAnalyzer unit. The drive is no longer available to the operating system. Data on an inoperable drive cannot be accessed.
