Dear Phil,
It means that for whatever reason Windows has found a fault with the
stripe set. Often this is just a momentary thing (ie the drives
were'nt quite spun up fully when you started up Windows) but it can
mean a degraded SCSI system, drive or chassis. I agree with Scott in
that you should right click and select "re-generate" and then keep an
eye on the set for re-occurances for a while. As an extra precaution I
would recomend installing Avid Storage Manager on your system and
performing an overnight random read only storage test. This will give
a report in the morning of any errors found and may restore some
confidence in your drive set. If you are in a position to do a clean
format on the drive set at any time you may wish to take the
opertunity to perform a random read/write test on the drives. This
will thoroughly excercise the set and weed out any weak ones if any.
(Note that the utility will only run on Avid drives unfortunately.)
Sylvain has kindly made ASM available form the support site. Make sure
that you follow his directions to install the correct version of Java
first per the site instructions.
