instructions. This creates the IM volume and triggers an automatic
resync.
3.3.3
Configuration Utility Disables Selection of Disk
Problem:
The configuration utility does not allow a disk to be selected
for an IM volume.
Solution:
To determine why the disk cannot be selected, press
F4
on
the RAID Properties screen to display diagnostic codes for each disk
under the Size column. Code definitions are as follows:
0
Good status
1
Could not get serial number from disk
2
Can’t confirm that disk has SMART capability
3
Maximum disks already configured for volume
4
Inquiry data returned says disk does not support wide, qtags,
disconnects, or sector size is not 512 bytes
5
User disabled qtags or Disconnects for disk on device properties
screen
6
Partitions on disk exceed size that can be mirrored by an already
selected secondary or hot spare disk
7
Disk is not large enough to mirror partitions contained on selected
primary disk
8
Hot spare detected while no IM volume exists. Must delete hot
spare and save that configuration
9
Disk partition uses some or all of the last 32 sectors of the disk
(16 Kbytes). The last 32 sectors are required for IR (Integrated
RAID) internal processing.
10
Disk has sector size other than 512 bytes
11
Device is not a compatible device type. Must be non-removable
disk.
12
Hot Spare too small to mirror volume
13
Maximum disks already configured for volume
