Instructions

To check disk state without logging in to ESXi, do the following:

  1. Log in into the ACM as root
  2. Run the command showfru disk 
  3. Under the Operation column, it shows disk state (such as Rebuild). Under the OpStatus column, it shows the disks rebuild % if the disk is rebuilding.

If this is DP5x, or DP8X, it shows all three nodes.

Examples:

  • DP4400
