SAS Host Bus Adapter
Select a host bus adapter entry from the Mass Storage list to display the following information:
• Model—displays the HBA's model ID, used for identification purposes.
• Status—displays the current status of the HBA. The following values are valid:
— OK—The host bus adapter is operating normally.
— Failed—The host bus adapter has failed and is no longer operating.
— Unknown—You may need to upgrade your driver software or Storage Agents or the
Storage Agents cannot determine the status of the host bus adapter.
• Serial Number—displays the serial number of the SAS HBA. This number can be used for
identification purposes.
• BIOS Version—displays the SAS HBA's BIOS version number. This information is not
available for all SAS HBAs.
• Firmware Version—displays the SAS HBA's BIOS firmware version number. This information
is not available for all SAS HBAs.
SAS Physical Drive
Select a SAS physical drive from the SAS host bus adapter submenu to display the following
information:
• Model displays the model of the SAS physical drive.
• Status shows the status of the physical drive selected.
— OK—The physical drive is operating normally.
— Predictive Failure—One of the physical drive thresholds has been exceeded.
— Offline—The physical drive is offline and can no longer return data. No further status
is available.
— Failed— The physical drive has failed and can no longer return data. The drive may
need to be replaced.
— Missing-Was OK—Indicates a physical drive that was located in the system and had a
status of OK has been removed.
— Missing-Was Failed—Indicates a physical drive that was located in the system and had
a status of failed has been removed.
— Missing-Was Offline—Indicates a physical drive that was located in the system and
had a status of offline has been removed.
— Unknown—The Storage Agents cannot determine the status of this physical drive. You
may need to upgrade your driver software or Storage Agents.
• 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 have been shortened
due to space limitations. Use this item for identification purposes.
• Capacity displays the size of the physical drive. A megabyte (MB) is 1,048,576 bytes, a
gigabyte (GB) is 1,073,741,824 bytes, and a terabyte (TB) is a thousand gigabytes.
• Many hardware manufacturers use a megabyte value of 1,000,000 instead of 1,048,576. This
may result in discrepancies between the manufacturer's stated size and the size reported by
this application.
• Firmware Version displays the firmware revision level of the SAS physical drive.
• Placement indicates if the physical drive is in an internal or external storage system. The
following values are valid:
— Internal—The physical drive is in an internal storage system.
— External—The physical drive is in an external storage system.
— Unknown—The physical drive is not in a storage system or the Storage Agents cannot
