Unfortunately, just because the person on the other end of the phone works for the manufacturer’s technical support team doesn’t mean they know what they are doing. Since Data Clinic’s inception, we’ve literally lost count of the number of people who have come to us for assistance after being given the wrong advice from customer support helplines. Often the main cause of failure to restore a system to optimal mode from degraded mode is the result of further errors being encountered on other hard drives that were not apparent at the time.īe careful with the advice from manufacturer’s helplines. PRTDSKINF - Print the retrieved disk information in a number of different formats. Failure to recover a system in degraded mode can cause significant issues and substantial data loss. Fortunately there are two command I can use to get to that information: RTVDSKINF - Retrieve the disk information. Recovering a system running in degraded mode is usually straightforward but it has to be done right first time. Performance will suffer and data transfer speeds will be significantly reduced but there will be no data loss. A multiple disk RAID 5 with one failed drive will be running in degraded mode.A two disk RAID 1 mirrored system with 1 failed drive will be running in degraded mode although there will be no loss in performance.Failed – The RAID has significant problems which prevent it from functioning. Confusingly, ‘partially degraded’ and ‘degraded’ mean the same thing.ģ. Degraded or Partially Degraded – One or more of that hard drives in the RAID have failed but the RAID still continues to function with no data loss, but significant restrictions in performance. Optimal or OK – All drives are functioning and the RAID runs correctlyĢ. If one or more of the hard drives in a RAID fail, the RAID may still continue to run, but with severe performance limitations in what is termed Degraded Mode.Ī RAID system has 3 main modes of operation:ġ. When the RAID is running correctly and without errors it is often said to running in it’s Optimal state. Degraded Mode is a term that refers to the status of a computer running RAID.
