Physical disk drive failure info

Hi,

how do you get more info about the failed disk and the spare process on a symm using cli?

Is there a flow that you use ?

I received an error message about a failed disk, in this case I can use:

symdisk -sid 1234 list -failed  - will show all failed disks

symdisk -sid 1234 list -hotspare  - see all defined hotspares

but I don't know how to find a relation between the failed disk and the spare disk, or about the copy process between failed disk and spare something like X% copied to spare disk

I've done a grep on the hotspare list and checked one by one all spare disks with the same capacity with the faulted disk

symdisk -sid 1234 show xx:yy -v  -spare_info

I've manage to find one of the spare disk with the information I need:

Failed Director

Failed interface

Failed Target ID

that match the failed disk so that means this spare is replacing the faulted disk but I don't think this is a solution to check every spare disk

It should be a CLI command to show this relation between a failed disk and the spare

Thanks!

In symdisk list –hotspare , you refer the information in command output for detecting spare disk invoking status. For example, there are 110 Hypr on Spare Disk Director 15C CC which indicates the spare disk is invoked.

Symmetrix ID : 000190100xxx

Disks Selected : 20
