Screen display messages this case and force the array to enter the rebuilding state. This has the effect of synchronizing the array back to a fully redundant state. To prevent unclean shutdowns, the user should always go through the normal shutdown procedure for the operating system in use and use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent unclean shutdowns due to sudden power loss. AEN 009h AEN_APORT_TIMEOUT The ATA RAID controller has a sophisticated recovery mechanism to handle various types of failures of a disk drive. One such possible failure of a disk drive is a failure of a command that is pending from the ATA RAID controller to complete within a reasonable amount of time. If the ATA RAID controller detects this condition, it notifies the user, prior to entering the recovery phase, by displaying this AEN. Possible causes of APORT time-outs include a bad or intermittent disk drive, power cable or ATA interface cable. AEN 00Ah AEN_DRIVE_ERROR As part of the recovery mechanism of the ATA RAID controller, various drive failures can be detected and if possible corrected. One such drive failure is when the drive indicates back to the ATA RAID controller that it was unable to complete a command. If the drive returns an error to the ATA RAID controller, the user is notified by this AEN. AEN 00Bh AEN_REBUILD_STARTED The ATA RAID controller notifies the user whenever it starts a rebuild. The rebuild start may be user initiated (by selecting the rebuild button in the 3DM Disk Management Utility) or it may be auto initiated by a hot spare failover. In either case, the user is notified of the event by this AEN. AEN 00Ch AEN_INIT_STARTED The ATA RAID controller notifies the user by this AEN whenever it starts an Initialization. Initialization occurs at array creation time. AEN 00Fh AEN_SMART_FAIL The ATA RAID controller supports S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring. whereby the individual drives automatically monitor certain parametric information such as error rates and retry counts. By monitoring this data, SMART may be able to predict a drive failure before it happens, allowing a user to schedule service of the array before it becomes degraded. The SMART status of each drive attached to the ATA RAID controller is monitored daily. If a failure of any drive is determined to be likely, the user is notified by this AEN. www.3ware.com 103

AEN_APORT_TIMEOUT
The ATA RAID controller has a sophisticated recovery mechanism to handle
various types of failures of a disk drive. One such possible failure of a disk
drive is a failure of a command that is pending from the ATA RAID controller
to complete within a reasonable amount of time. If the ATA RAID controller
detects this condition, it notifies the user, prior to entering the recovery phase,
by displaying this AEN.
Possible causes of APORT time-outs include a bad or intermittent disk drive,

As part of the recovery mechanism of the ATA RAID controller, various drive
failures can be detected and if possible corrected. One such drive failure is

In either case, the user is notified of the event by this AEN.
