CLI Guide

The serial number of the disk.
Type
• SAS: Enterprise SAS spinning disk.
• SAS MDL: Midline SAS spinning disk.
• SSD SAS: Dual-port, SAS solid-state disk (SSD).
State
• AVAIL: Available
• FAILED: The disk is unusable and must be replaced. Reasons for this status include: excessive media
errors, SMART error, disk hardware failure, or unsupported disk.
• GLOBAL SP: Global spare
• LEFTOVR: Leftover
• VDISK: Used in a disk group
• VDISK SP: Spare assigned to a disk group
Partially Recon Target
• True: The disk contains partially reconstructed data.
• False: The disk does not contain partially reconstructed data.
Out Of Sync
• True: The disk data is out of sync with other disks in the disk group.
• False: The disk data is in sync with other disks in the disk group.
Age
The age of the disk in the disk group. The age value starts at 1 and is incremented for all good disks in the disk
group each time there is a change in the disk configuration of the disk group, such as when a disk is detected
to have failed or be missing. Therefore, if a disk has a lower age than other disks in the disk group, that disk is
out-of-sync with the other disk group members. This value can be used as a guide to decide which disks to
physically remove before doing the trust operation to minimize the amount of corrupt data in the trusted disk
group if you want to use the unsafe parameter.
Examples
Trust a disk group which has enough good disks to complete the trust operation. The disk group may have
out-of-sync or partially reconstructed disks but they are not needed to complete the trust operation. The
command completes successfully.
# trust enable
Success: Command completed successfully. - Trust is enabled. (2013-09-17
04:29:28)
# trust disk-group data_1
Success: Command completed successfully. (data_1) - Trust operation
completed successfully for this disk group. (2013-09-17 04:29:35)
Trust a disk group which does not have enough good disks available to complete the trust operation. The
command fails.
# trust enable
Success: Command completed successfully. - Trust is enabled. (2013-09-17
04:12:49)
# trust disk-group data_1
Error: The trust operation failed because the disk group has an
insufficient number of in-sync disks. - Please contact Support for
further assistance. (2013-09-17 04:13:13)
Trust a disk group which has out-of-sync or partially reconstructed disks that would be needed to complete
the trust operation. The command fails.
# trust enable
Success: Command completed successfully. - Trust is enabled. (2013-09-17
09:06:41)
# trust disk-group data_1
Error: Command failed. - The disk group specified contains out-of-sync or
partially reconstructed disks that are necessary to restore the disk
