The controller is flushing its cache to disk.

An administrator sees a steady amber LED on a drive in an E-Series shelf. What is the most likely interpretation?

The drive is online and operating normally.

The drive is being rebuilt after a failure.

An administrator is adding a mix of SAS and NL-SAS drives to an E-Series shelf. What is the recommended practice regarding drive types in the same shelf?

Mix drive types freely to maximize capacity and performance.

Use only one drive type per shelf to simplify management and ensure consistent performance.

Use only SAS drives in all shelves, as NL-SAS drives are not supported.

Place NL-SAS drives in the first slots and SAS drives in the last slots.
