lsbootdrive

Use the lsbootdrive command to return the drive information of the internal boot drives for the specified node.

Syntax

Parameters

panel_name: (Optional) Identifies the node that is being used.

Description

The command displays information about internal boot drives for the specified node (if applicable).

This table provides the possible values for attributes that are displayed as data in the output views.

Table 1. lsbootdrive attribute values
Attribute	Value
panel_id	Identifies the panel ID of the node that contains the boot drive. The value is a 7-character alphanumeric string.
node_id	Identifies the ID (in decimal format) of the node that contains the boot drive.
node_name	Identifies the name of the node that contains the boot drive.
can_sync	Indicates when synchronization is needed and is not prevented by another problem. The values are `yes` or `no`. Remember: This value must be `yes` when status is `out_of_sync`. If the status is not `out_of_sync` the value is `no`.
slot_id	Identifies the ID (in decimal format) of the slot within the node.
booted	Indicates whether the node started from the specified drive. The values are `yes`, `no`.
status	Indicates the slot status. The values are: `missing` indicates that the slot must be occupied, but the software cannot detect a drive. It also indicates the serial number of the expected drive. `empty` indicates that the slot is supposed to be empty and is empty. `unsupported` indicates that the slot is supposed to be empty but is not. `failed` indicates that the drive in the slot is not working. `uninitialized` indicates that the drive is not formatted for the system. `wrong_node` indicates that the drive is working but is not in the correct node. It also indicates the serial number of the node the drive must be in and might indicate the serial number of the drive that must be in the slot. `wrong_slot` indicates that the drive is working correctly - it is in the right node but the wrong slot. It also indicates which drives belong in which slots. `out_of_sync` indicates that the drive is working correctly but must be resynchronized. Make sure the value of `can_sync` is `yes` before you specify the command `chbootdrive -sync`. `online` indicates that the drive in the slot is working correctly. `unknown` indicates that the node is not an active member of the system, and the state of the drive in that slot is unknown.
actual_drive_sn	Indicates the serial number of the drive in the slot. The value is an alphanumeric string or blank if no drive is in the slot.
configured_drive_sn	Identifies the serial number of the drive that must be in the slot. The value is an alphanumeric string or blank if no drive is in the slot.
actual_node_sn	Indicates the serial number of the node the drive (currently in the slot) belongs in. The value is an alphanumeric string or blank if no drive is in the slot.
identify	Indicates whether `chnodebootdrive -identify` is specified. The following values are possible for this attribute: `on` indicates `chbnodeootdrive -identify yes -slot` is specified `off` indicates `chnodebootdrive -identify no -slot` is specified
FRU_part_number	Identifies the field-replaceable unit (FRU) part number of the drive. The value is a 7-character alphanumeric string or blank if no drive exists.
FRU_identity	Identifies the 11S number that combines the manufacturing part number and serial number. The value is a 22-character alphanumeric string.

Note: If the status is out_of_sync and can_sync is set to no, look for an indication to determine what must be fixed to make resynchronization possible.
