HP Insight Management Agents - Manual (Page 42)

• Model—Displays a description of the physical drive. The text depends on the manufacturer
of the drive and the drive type.
If a drive fails, note the model to identify the type of drive necessary for replacement.
• Firmware Version—Displays the physical drive firmware version number. Make sure you
have the most recent version of the firmware because older versions may not support all of
the newest features.
• Serial Number—Displays the serial number assigned to the physical drive. This value is
based on the serial number as returned by the SCSI inquiry command but may be modified
due to space limitations. This item can be used for identification purposes.
• Service Hours—Displays the current number of hours of service (the number of hours that
a physical drive has been spinning) since the drive was stamped. The drive was stamped
when it left the factory.
For example, if the Current Service Hours value is 604, the drive has been operating for 604
hours. If an error occurred at 499 Service Hours, it occurred after 499 hours of service.
• S.M.A.R.T. Support—Indicates whether or not the SCSI physical drive supports S.M.A.R.T.
The possible values are:
— Available—This drive supports predictive failure monitoring.
— Not available—Predictive failure monitoring is not available for this drive.
— Unknown—The Storage Agents cannot determine if the drive supports predictive failure
monitoring. You may need to upgrade your driver or Storage Agents.
NOTE: A value of Unknown indicates that the agents cannot determine this information
from the physical drive.
• Current Width—Displays the current negotiated data transfer width for a SCSI physical
drive. The possible values are:
— Narrow (8 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this drive is narrow (8 data
bits).
— Wide (16 bits)—The negotiated data transfer width for this drive is wide (16 data bits).
— Unknown—The Storage Agents are unable to determine the current negotiated data
transfer width for this drive.
• Current Speed—Displays the current negotiated data transfer rate for a SCSI physical drive.
The possible values are:
— Asynchronous—The negotiated data transfer rate for this drive is asynchronous.
— Fast—The negotiated data transfer rate for this drive is 20 megabytes per second.
— Ultra—The negotiated data transfer rate for this drive is 40 megabytes per second.
— Ultra2—The negotiated data transfer rate for this drive is 80 megabytes per second.
— Ultra3—The negotiated data transfer rate for this drive is 160 megabytes per second.
— Ultra320—The negotiated data transfer rate for this device is 320 megabytes per second.
— Unknown—The agent is unable to determine the negotiated data transfer rate for this
drive.
