Note: In the screen output above, the Physical Disks tab has been accessed

from the InServs node (all connected storage server) level on the

Management Tree. If the Physical Disks tab was accessed from the

Management Tree via a specific server node (for example, s424), the

resulting information displayed on the Physical Disks tab does not display

the System column.

The Cage Subsystems Physical Disks tab displays the following information:

Column Description

System The InServ Storage Server name.

Name The disk name in node:slot:port format.

Manufacturer The manufacturer of the disk.

Model/Part Number The model and/or part number of the disk.

Serial Number The disk's serial number.

Firmware Version The disk's firmware version.

Device Type

The type of physical disk; Fibre Channel (FC), Solid State

(SSD), or Nearline (NL).

Device Speed The speed of the disk, in K.

Note: The Device Speed number does not represent a rotational speed for the drives

without spinning media (SSD). It is meant as a rough estimation of the performance

difference between the drive and the other drives in the system. For FC and NL drives, the

number corresponds to both a performance measure and actual rotational speed. For an

SSD drive, the number is to be treated as relative performance benchmark that takes into

account in I/O per second, bandwidth, and the access time.

Total Capacity The total capacity of the disk, in GiB.
