Failed Status

A failed logical drive is represented by this icon in the Subsystem Management Window Logical View. This is the most serious status for a logical drive.

A logical drive status of Failed occurs when two or more drives have failed in the same array, or one or more drives have failed in a RAID 0 array. Either way, All the logical drives on the array are no longer operating. In a RAID 1, 3, or 5 array, you have lost data unless you erroneously removed the second drive and it was actually Optimal and NOT failed. In a RAID 0 array, you have lost data. Use the Recovery Guru to restore your array to Optimal status.

Physical components such as controllers, drives, and power supplies can also have a Failed status. Icons reflecting a status change to Failed are shown in the Subsystem Management Window Physical View.
