CLI command to determine underlying storage RAID config

Hello,

I'm trying to find a naviseccli command or other way to determine the underlying RAID config for a storage pool.

For example, a pool consisting of 17x disks in a RAID5 config, how do I determine the exact layout of the RAID, is it 2x 4+1R5 plus a 1x 6+1R5 or a completely different layout?

The output from 'navissecli storagepool [poolname] -rtype' returns the disks in a storage pool, but not the RAID config.

Any help is appreciated.

Mike

    Hello dynamox,

    Thanks for the reply, I've tried the suggested command (including engineering password) from the post you pointed me at, it still doesnt appear to give me the pool RAID breakdown.

    I'm reviewing again, maybe it does. Trying to figure out what RAID group IDs could tally up with the different pools.

    Mike,

    I'm sure you found the relationship by now, but from the output search for the individual drives (by the B_E_D/Bus_Enclosure_Disk reference) that were added to the pool.  These will be grouped in what will be the (private) RAID Groups.
