Other Disk Icons

Unknown A disk with an unknown usage or state. Either the disk is in service mode, is format degraded or is broken. Try formatting to return to the disk to the System (AIX) usage.
Blank Reserved A place holder for a mising array component. If a disk is rejected from an array, and no Hot-spare resources were configured, the array will be degraded or exposed. The missing component is replaced with a Blank Reserved disk. Select the blank disk to Exchange it for a suitable Free resource.
PFA This disk has raised a Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) 1 error. This icon may be displayed in the PFA column on the Physical View
