Perccli Disk States

Question

Hello,

I'm writing a small script to check individual disk status with perccli. The output I'm getting is something like this:

Drive Information :
=================

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EID:Slt DID State DG     Size Intf Med SED PI SeSz Model                Sp
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
32:0      0 Onln   0 5.457 TB SATA HDD N   N  512B XXX XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX U
32:1      1 Onln   0 5.457 TB SATA HDD N   N  512B XXX XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX U
32:2      2 Onln   0 5.457 TB SATA HDD N   N  512B XXX XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX U
32:3      3 Rbld   0 5.457 TB SATA HDD N   N  512B XXX XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXX U
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see we have a "State" column where we can see the state of the disk. One of them is rebuilding so it is marked as "Rbld" and other ones are online and marked as "Onln".

Can anyone please tell me what would that state be if a disk was failing. I am trying to match my scripts "if" to match with the state here. I have checked the documentation and couldn't find anything. Or if there's a "list of states" that you can share with me, I'd be really happy.

Thank you!

Hello

If you do a show all on a disk it should have a legend at the bottom of the output that lists the possible states. There is sample output in the CLI guide that may also include the legend.

The site has been changed and almost all of the redirects have stopped working. You can drill down to the controller manuals by going to All Products>Servers>Data Center Infrastructure.

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for your reply. I didn't notice the output was a legend until you point it out. I'll copy-paste it here so if anyone else has the same issue can see it here.

Ok, what would be the specific code indicating the disk is failed?
