Checking Unit and Drive Status
The information screens in 3DM2 let you see both summary and detailed information about your 3ware RAID controller, configured units, and available drives. 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, or warning).
The next figure illustrates how you can drill down to get additional detail about units and drives in your system.
Show Drilling Down to Check Status Information
For some RAID levels (RAID 6, RAID 10, and RAID 50), a single RAID unit may have more than one status. For example, part of the unit could be rebuilding, while another part is degraded or initializing. When this is the case, you will see both statuses listed at the top unit level. When you drill in to see details, you will be able to see which the specific subunits or drives to which the status applies.
For an explanation of unit and drive status, see:

| Unit Statuses

| Drive Statuses

If you use a supported enclosure with enclosure services, the LEDs on your enclosure may also provide some status information. For details, see Enclosure Drive LED Status Indicators.
