This enumerated value indicates whether the physical drive supports predictive failure monitoring, as other, notAvailable, or available. An admin checks this to know whether a given drive can provide advance warning (via cpqFcaPhyDrvStatus's predictiveFailure state) before it actually fails, or whether it will only ever report an abrupt failed status. For example, notAvailable(2) on an older drive model means the admin cannot rely on early warning for that disk and should plan more frequent manual health checks.
