Physical Device Properties

Table below list the Physical Device Properties
Table 9. Physical Device Properties
Properties Description
IDDisplays the physical device ID as reported by the omreport CLI command.
StatusDisplays the status of the physical device.
NameDisplays the name of the physical device.
StateIndicates whether the physical device is ready or not.
Device NameDisplays the operating system device name for the physical device.
Bus ProtocolDisplays the bus protocol used with the physical device.
Part of Cache PoolIndicates whether the physical device is a part of the cache pool or not.
Device Life RemainingDisplays the percentage of the disk life available.
Failure Predicted

Displays whether the physical disk has received a Self- Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) alert and is therefore predicted to fail. For more information on SMART predictive failure analysis, see Monitoring Disk Reliability On RAID Controllers. For information on replacing the physical disk, see Replacing A Physical Disk Receiving SMART Alerts.

You may also want to review the Alert Log to see if the physical disk has generated alerts pertaining to a SMART predictive failure. These alerts can assist you in identifying the cause of the SMART alert. The following alerts may be generated in response to a SMART alert:

  • 2094
  • 2106
  • 2107
  • 2108
  • 2109
  • 2110
  • 2111

For information on Alert Messages, see the Server Administrator Messages Reference Guide.

On a PERC4/IM controller, when replacing a drive that displays a SMART error with another drive, it is necessary to perform a rescan operation on the controller, for Storage Management to display the correct status of the newly inserted drive.

RevisionDisplays the firmware version of the drive.
Driver VersionDisplays the version number of the driver.
Device Life StatusDisplays the health status of the physical device.
Model NumberDisplays the model number of the physical device.
CapacityDisplays the name of the physical device vendor.
Vendor ID Displays the name of the physical device vendor
Product IDDisplays the product ID of the device.
Serial No.Displays the serial number of the device.
Negotiated SpeedDisplays the speed of data transfer that the device negotiated during initial communication. The negotiated speed depends on the speed of the device, the capable speed of the PCIe extender card, and the current speed of the PCIe extender card on that connector.
Capable SpeedDisplays the highest possible speed at which the device can transfer data.
