The following information is displayed:

Description

Column

Physical disk ID, as assigned by the system. Physical disks are numbered
contiguously during system installation beginning with 0.

ID

The drive cage in which the disk is located.

Cage

A description of the physical location of the drive cage.

Cage Location

Location of the disk in (Cage:Magazine:Disk format.

Position

Indicates whether a physical disk is a Fibre Channel (FC), Nearline (NL), or
Solid State (SSD) drive.

Device Type

The protocol used by the device, for example, FC SAS.

Device Protocol

Speed of the specified disk (in thousands of RPMs).

Device RPM

NOTE:

The Device RPM number does not represent a rotational speed for the drives without spinning media (SSDs).

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 of the disk as identified by the kernel.

State

Number of chunklets on the physical disk, excluding those reserved by the
system, such as for the TOC.

Total Chunklets

Number of chunklets allocated to logical disks and containing data that is
currently accessible to the system.

Normal Used OK

Number of chunklets allocated to logical disks and containing data but currently
inaccessible because they have failed.

Normal Used Failed

Number of chunklets currently free and available for use by logical disks.

Normal Unused Free

Number of chunklets being cleaned. A chunklet that is clean has been set to
all zeros, and therefore does not contain any data.

Normal Unused Uninit

Number of unavailable chunklets.

Normal Unused Unavailable

Number of initialized but unallocated chunklets that do not contain data and
have failed.

Normal Unused Failed

Number of chunklets currently used for sparing and containing data that is
accessible by the system.

Spare Used OK

Number of chunklets used for sparing but containing data that is currently
inaccessible to the system because they have failed.

Spare Used Failed

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

Spare Unused Free
