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.

State

State of the disk as identified by the kernel. See Error! Hyperlink
reference not valid.
.

State
Description

Description of the drive state.
