Generating disk drive and device reports

Edit online

Create a summary of disk information for all drives in the system.

About this task

The filter functions can be used to sort the data by relevant parameters, including Drive Status, Device Alias, Site, Cabinet, Device Model, Device Software Version, Block Device Name, Drive Model, and Firmware. More columns appear if a multi-node appliance exists in the system. The columns are Chassis ID and Node Location and Node Count that describes the node configuration of a multi-node chassis. For appliances that is not multi-node, the columns are marked 'N/A'. This information is view-only and cannot be changed from this screen.

The contents can be filtered, based on items such as disk status and model, and exported to a .csv file. It can be used for troubleshooting disk and device health issues. The following information is available:

  • Drive Status
  • Suspend Reason
  • Block Device Name
  • RAID Sequence
  • Bay
  • Drive Serial number
  • Drive Model
  • Drive Firmware
  • Alias
  • IP Addresses
  • Device Serial number
  • Drive Usage
  • Model
  • Version
  • Cabinet (if present)
  • Slot number (if cabinet present)
  • Site
  • Pool
  • Chassis ID
  • Node Location
  • Node Count
  • Drive Capacity
Note: This report displays Bay identifiers with a new format: <chassisId>:<enclosureId>:<slotId>.
