HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 Command Line Interface Reference

• FC – Fibre Channel
• NL – Nearline
• SSD – Solid State Drive
• RPM – The maximum RPM speed of the physical disk.
• State – State of the PD can be one of the following:
normal – PD is normal◦
◦ degraded – The PD is not operating normally. Use showpd -s to find out the detail
information.
◦ new – The PD is new, needs to be admitted before it can be used (see help admitpd)
◦ failed – The PD has failed.
• Total. Total size of the disk in MB (1024^2 bytes).
• Free. Free size of the disk in MB (1024^2 bytes). This includes the size that is available to
use, uninitialized, and unavailable to use.
• Port_A. The port location for the A port of the physical disk. If the primary path, the port
location is followed by an asterisk (*). If disabled, the port location is followed by a dash (-).
• Port_B. The port location for the B port of the physical disk. If the primary path, the port
location is followed by an asterisk (*). If disabled, the port location is followed by a dash (-).
The following example displays only information for nearline drives:

The columns in the previous example are identified as follows:
• ID. Physical disk ID, as assigned by the system. For unadmitted disk the ID appears as dashes
(––).
• CagePos.Position of PD, in the format <cage>:<side>.<mag>:<disk> where <cage>
is the cage number, <side> is 0 or 1 depending on whether the cage is on the left or right
(from the front view) of the disk chassis, <mag> is the magazine number (0 through 4) and
<disk> is the disk number (0 through 3) within the magazine. If the position ends with a
question mark (?) the current position of the drive is not known (for example, the drive may
be missing), and the position shown is the last known position.
• Type – Device type of the PD.
• FC – Fibre Channel
