RAID, Debian, OMSA

I had a drive in a RAID array on a 2950 fail on me yesterday. The system
rebuilt onto the hotspare, and I replaced the faulty disk, and used
omconfig to mark the replacement disk as a new hotspare.

It's the first time I've used the omsa tools (fetched from
ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/dell/), which I installed after spotting
the failure.

omreport still appears to be reporting a problem though.

# ./omreport storage controller
 Controller  PERC 5/i Integrated (Embedded)

Controllers
ID                                            : 0
Status                                        : Non-Critical
Name                                          : PERC 5/i Integrated
Slot ID                                       : Embedded
State                                         : Degraded
...

What does 'Degraded' imply? All of the disks are reporting as 'Ok'.
