CLI Guide

○ Standard: The disk is in the storage tier that uses enterprise-class spinning SAS disks
(10k/15k RPM, higher capacity).
○ Archive: The disk is in the lowest storage tier, which uses midline spinning SAS disks (<10k
RPM, high capacity).
○ Read Cache: The disk is an SSD providing high-speed read cache for a storage pool.
Total I/Os
Shown by the perf parameter. The total number of I/O operations (reads and writes).
Transfer Rate
Shown by the detail parameter. The data transfer rate in Gbit/s. A footnote indicates that it is
normal behavior for the rate to vary. ome 6-Gbit/s disks might not consistently support a 6-Gbit/s
transfer rate. If this happens, the controller automatically adjusts transfers to those disks to 3 Gbit/s,
increasing reliability and reducing error messages with little impact on system performance. This rate
adjustment persists until the controller is restarted or power-cycled.
Usage
Shown by default or by the detail parameter.
● AVAIL: Available.
● DEDICATED SP: The disk is a spare assigned to a linear disk group.
● FAILED: The disk is unusable and must be replaced. Reasons for this status include: excessive
media errors, SMART error, disk hardware failure, or unsupported disk.
● GLOBAL SP: The disk is a global spare.
● LEFTOVR: The disk is a leftover.
● LINEAR POOL: The disk is a member of a linear disk group.
● UNUSABLE: The disk cannot be used in a disk group. Possible reasons include:
○ The system is secured and the disk is data locked with a different passphrase.
○ The system is secured/locked (no passphrase available) and the disk is data/locked.
○ The system is secured and the disk is not FDE capable.
● UNUSABLE: The disk cannot be used in a disk group because the disk is from an unsupported
vendor.
● VDISK: The disk is a member of a linear disk group.
● VDISK SP: The disk is a spare assigned to a linear disk group
● VIRTUAL POOL: The disk is a member of a disk group in a virtual pool.
Vdisk (v2)
Shown by default or by the detail parameter. The name of the disk group that contains the disk.
Vendor
Shown by default and by any parameter except temp. The vendor of the disk.
