To display the detail status of a specific physical drive, do the following. Physicaldrive 2I:1:8 (port 2I:box 1:bay 8, 300 GB): OK Physicaldrive 2I:1:7 (port 2I:box 1:bay 7, 300 GB): OK Physicaldrive 2I:1:6 (port 2I:box 1:bay 6, 300 GB): OK Physicaldrive 1I:1:4 (port 1I:box 1:bay 4, 300 GB): OK Physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 1:bay 3, 300 GB): OK Physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, 146 GB): OK Physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 1:bay 1, 146 GB): OK In this example, we have two 146GB physical drives, and 5 300GB physical drives, and all are in perfect condition. To display the status of the physical drive, do the following. In this example, the controller is working perfectly without any issues. To display the status of just the controller, do the following. The first RAID group RAID 1 contains 2 physical drives and the remaining physical drives are not assigned to any of the logical drives. In this example, as shown in the above output, we have total 7 physical drives. Physicaldrive 2I:1:8 (port 2I:box 1:bay 8, SAS, 300 GB, OK) Physicaldrive 2I:1:7 (port 2I:box 1:bay 7, SAS, 300 GB, OK) Physicaldrive 2I:1:6 (port 2I:box 1:bay 6, SAS, 300 GB, OK) Physicaldrive 1I:1:4 (port 1I:box 1:bay 4, SAS, 300 GB, OK) Physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 1:bay 3, SAS, 300 GB, OK) Physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 146 GB, OK) Physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 146 GB, OK) To display the detailed status of the controller and the disk status, execute the following command. The following is exactly same as the above. Or, if you don’t want to get to the hpacucli prompt, you can just enter the following directly in the Linux prompt. Type "help" for a list of supported commands.
