SMART-compliant physical disks have attributes for which data (values) can be monitored to identify changes in values and determine whether the values are within threshold limits. Many mechanical failures and some electrical failures display some degradation in performance before failure There are numerous factors that relate to predictable physical disk failures, such as a bearing failure, a broken read/write head, and changes in spin-up rate. In addition, there are factors related to re

1.1.5 Drive Roaming and Drive Migration Note: Drive roaming and drive migration cannot be supported at the same time. One or the other feature can be supported at any one time, but not both features at the same time. Drive roaming (also known as configuration on disk) occurs when the hard drives are moved to different channels on the same controller and the controller detects the RAID configuration from the configuration information on the drives. Configuration data is saved in both non-vol

Please note the following: • You cannot delete a logical drive during a reconstruction. Also, you cannot delete a logical drive during a rebuild, initialization, or check consistency of a logical drive, if that drive has a higher logical drive number than the drive you want to delete. You must wait until these processes have completed before deleting the logical drive. • Drive size extension is not possible, even though you can use non- contiguous free space to create a new logical drive. •
