I think you can see it from cli for sure, if you looks at properties of hot spare that has kicked in do you see anything interesting ?

Nope.  Hot spare doesn't show anything other than a status of enabled.  The replacement drive just says equalizing.  I could have sworn back in Navisphere on my CX3 that there was a place where you could see the % progress somewhere. Maybe I am thinking of something else like LUN migration status.  Or maybe you have to look at the SP logs to get a %?  Let me try and get into that

edit: nope not seeing anything in the logs that indicates progress

I think you remember the rebuild status of each LUN. That one you can easily check from the CLI. When  it comes to the equializing part I really don't know. It shouldn't take that long anyway.

getdisk -rb = percent of rebuild on the disk - hot spare or new disk.

getlun -prb = percent of the LUN rebuilt

dumb question- where do you run getdisk and getlun from?  I tried from the control station shell and it doesn't recognize the commands

Sorry, did not realize you have a Unified VNX (the File and Block). The commands are naviseccli commands and are issued against the SP on the array. The Control Station has one IP address and the array has two IP addresses (SPA and SPB). From a workstation you issue the commands to the IP addresses for either SPA or SPB and if you have proxy_arp setup on the array, the commands are passed thru the Control Station to the SP's.

The commands are found in the VNX Command Line Interface (I've attached here). the "getdisk" command is on page 150 and "getlun" on page 167.

/nas/sbin/navicli -h spa

Hmm... tried this as nasadmin and root

[nasadmin@VNX-CS0 ~]$ /nas/sbin/navicli -h 172.16.154.3 getdisk -rb

Error returned from the Management Server on 172.16.154.3

Authentication failed. Possible reason for failure is excessive failed authentication attempts.

which is kind of a funny error message seeing how that wast he first time I typed that command.

using the naviseccli commands also requires the use of username/password/scope

naviseccli -h 172.16.154.3 -user xyzzy -password xxxx -scopy 0 getdisk -rb

-scope is the type of user - global or local. See page 26/27
