Disk Status confusion

Some may remember the disk failure mess we ran into some weeks back. We may have another one but I'm confused about the status on screen displays.

We specifically started/enabled RAID5 on this system when I had to reload EVERYTHING from a System Save tape. How could it say Unprotected? Could that just mean not mirrored?

                        Display Device Parity Status

 Parity                      Resource Hot Spare
   Set  ASP Unit  Type Model Name       Status Protection
     1            2BE1  001  DC01       RAID 5                  N
          1    2  198C  099  DMP020 Unprotected
          1    1  198C  099  DMP013 Unprotected
          1    4  198C  099  DMP005 Unprotected
          1    5  198C  099  DMP001 Unprotected
          1    8  198C  099  DMP009 Failed
          1    3  198C  099  DMP015 Unprotected
          1    6  198C  099  DMP011 Unprotected
          1    7  198C  099  DMP007 Unprotected

And what about this screen? How is it RAID5/Unprotected? How can it be both?
