Spare Unused Free

Number of chunklets currently free and available for use, but only

has been set to all zeros, and therefore does not contain any data.

Displaying Inventory Information

To view physical disk inventory information, select Inventory from the filtering list. The

inventory information appears as follows:


The following information is displayed:

Column Description

ID

Physical disk ID, as assigned by the system. Physical disks are

numbered contiguously during system installation beginning with 0.

Cage

The drive cage in which the disk resides.

Position

Location of the disk in the format: N:S:P (Node:Slot:Port).

Device Type

Indicates whether a physical disk is a Fibre Channel (FC), Nearline

(NL), or Solid State (SSD) drive.

Device Speed

Speed of the specified disk. (RPM)

Note: The Device Speed number does not represent a rotational speed for the drives
without spinning media (SSD). It is meant as a rough estimation of the performance

difference between the drive and the other drives in the system. For FC and NL drives, the
number corresponds to both a performance measure and actual rotational speed. For an
SSD drive, the number is to be treated as relative performance benchmark that takes into

account in I/O per second, bandwidth, and the access time.
