Table view

The Table tab shows a tabular view of information about physical components in the system. By default, the table shows 20 entries at a time.

For each component, the table shows the following information:

Table 1. Table view informationTable view information
Field	Description
Health	Shows the health of the component: OK, Degraded, Fault, N/A, or Unknown.
Type	Shows the component type: enclosure, disk, power supply, controller module, network port, host port, expansion port, CompactFlash card, or I/O module (expansion module).
Enclosure	Shows the enclosure ID.
Location	Shows the location of the component. For an enclosure, the location is shown in the format Rack rack-ID.shelf-ID. You can set the location through the CLI set enclosure command. For a disk, the location is shown in the format enclosure-ID.disk-slot. For a power supply or I/O module, the locations Left, Left-Middle, Middle, Right-Middle, and Right are as viewed from the rear of the enclosure. For a host port, the location is shown as controller ID and port number.
Information	Shows additional, component-specific information: For an enclosure, its FRU description and current disk count. For a disk, its description, capacity, and usage. Type is shown as either: SAS – Enterprise SAS spinning disk. SAS MDL – Midline SAS spinning disk. SSD SAS – SAS solid-state disk. Usage is shown as either: AVAIL – The disk is available. GLOBAL SP – The disk is configured as a spare. DEDICATED SP – The disk is configured as a dedicated spare. pool-ID:tier name for disk groups that are part of a virtual pool or pool-ID: Linear for disk groups that are part of linear pools. The disk is part of a disk group. FAILED – The disk is unusable and must be replaced. Reasons for this status include: excessive media errors, SMART error, disk hardware failure, or unsupported disk. LEFTOVR – The disk is part of a disk group that is not found in the system. UNUSABLE – The disk cannot be used in a disk group. Possible reasons include: The system is secured, and the disk is data locked with a different passphrase. The system is secured/locked (no passphrase available) and the disk is data/locked. The system is secured and the disk is not FDE capable. For a power supply: its FRU description. For a fan: its rotational speed in r/min (revolutions per minute). For a controller module: its ID. For a network port: its IP address. For a host port:, one of the following values: FC(L) – Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (public or private) FC(P) – Fibre Channel Point-to-Point FC(-) – Fibre Channel disconnected SAS – Serial Attached SCSI iSCSI – Internet SCSI For an expansion port, either Out Port or In Port. For an I/O module, its ID.
Status	Shows the component status: For an enclosure: Up. For a disk: Up The disk is present and is properly communicating with the expander. Spun Down The disk is present and has been spun down by the DSD feature. Warning The disk is present but the system is having communication problems with the disk LED processor. For disk and midplane types where this processor also controls power to the disk, power-on failure will result in the Error status. Error The disk is present but not detected by the expander. Unknown Initial status when the disk is first detected or powered on. Not Present The disk slot indicates that no disk is present. Unrecoverable The disk is present but has unrecoverable errors. Unavailable The disk is present but cannot communicate with the expander. Unsupported The disk is present but is an unsupported type. For a power supply: Up, Warning, Error, Not Present, or Unknown. For a fan: Up, Error,, Off, or Missing. For a controller module or I/O module: Operational, Down, Not Installed, or Unknown. For a network port: N/A. For a host port: Up – The port is cabled and has an I/O link. Warning – Not all of the port PHYs are up. Error – The port is reporting an error condition. Not Present – The controller module is not installed or is down. Disconnected – Either no I/O link is detected or the port is not cabled. For an expansion port: Up, Disconnectedor Unknown. For a CompactFlash card: Installed, Not Installed, or Unknown.
