LaCie RAID Manager features icons to easily identify the state of the LaCie professional DAS and its components.
Array
Icon
Description
Notes
Online array
The array is operating normally.
Degraded array
The array is degraded and has no fault tolerance. In this state, data is not recoverable if one physical disk fails. Rebuild the array by replacing the failed physical disks.

Notes
Unconfigured physical disk
The physical disk is available for use in an array and virtual disk.
Configured physical disk
The physical disk is part of a virtual disk.
Foreign physical disk
The foreign physical disk is part of a virtual disk created with another RAID device. The foreign physical disk cannot be used with this device unless the RAID configuration metadata is erased on the disk.
Offline physical disk
The physical disk is part of a virtual disk and has an error. Check the event log for details and replace the physical disk if necessary. Note: An offline physical disk can render a virtual disk offline or degrade it.
Unconfigured spare drive
The spare drive is available for rebuilding virtual disks and arrays.
Configured spare drive

Virtual disk
Icon
Description
Notes
Online virtual disk
The virtual disk is operating normally.
Online Virtual Disk with Background Activity
The virtual disk is operating normally and performing a background activity.
Offline virtual disk
This virtual disk is not operating because one or more member physical disks are not connected. Data cannot be written to or read from the virtual disk.
Foreign virtual disk
The RAID configuration metadata on the physical disk indicates that it is part of a virtual disk that was created with another RAID device.
Partially optimal virtual disk
One or more physical disks in the virtual disk have failed and reduced the fault tolerance of the virtual disk. The virtual disk is still operating normally.
Partially optimal virtual disk with background activity
The partially optimal virtual disk is performing a background activity.
Degraded virtual disk
The virtual disk is degraded and has no fault tolerance. In this state, data is not recoverable if one physical disk fails. Rebuild the virtual disk by replacing the failed physical disks.
