The following figure shows an example of part of a Physical Devices report. The actual report includes more columns of information. A record is created for each physical device.



Item Description
Location Name of physical devices
CR# C# and R# to define physical devices

Output as "XX/YY"

PG Parity group of physical devices
Emulation Type Parity group of physical devices
Drive type Drive type of physical devices (for example, SAS, SSD)
Interface Revolutions-per-minute (RPM) (unit: rpm) of the drives of the physical devices

A hyphen (-) is displayed when the drive type is not HDD.

Drive Type-Code Type code of the drive in the parity group.

Output example: SLR5B- M200SS;SFB5A-M200SS; (if multiple drive types are set)

Drive Size Drive size (inches) (for example, 2.5, 3.5)
Drive Capacity Physical drive capacity (GB or TB)
Drive Version Firmware version of the drive
DKB1* Name of the DKB1 which controls the physical devices
DKB2* Name of the DKB2 which controls the physical devices
DKB3* Name of the DKB3 which controls the physical devices

This item is output only for VSP E990 and VSP E1090.

DKB4* Name of the DKB4 which controls the physical devices

This item is output only for VSP E990 and VSP E1090.

Serial Number# Serial product number of the physical devices
RAID Level RAID level of the physical devices (for example, RAID1(2D+2D), RAID6(6D+2P))
RAID Concatenation#0 Number indicating a parity group #0 connected to this parity group

Output example: 2-1, 3-1, 4-1

RAID Concatenation#1 Number indicating a parity group #1 connected to this parity group

Output example: 2-1, 3-1, 4-1

RAID Concatenation#2 Number indicating a parity group #2 connected to this parity group

Output example: 2-1, 3-1, 4-1

Resource Group Name Name of resource group to which the parity group of physical devices belong
Resource Group ID ID (0 to 1023 binary)
Encryption Enable or disable status of the parity group to which the physical devices belong
  • Enabled: Encryption is enabled.
  • Disabled: Encryption is disabled.
RPM Revolutions-per-minute (RPM) (unit: rpm) of the drives of the physical devices

A hyphen (-) is displayed when the drive type is not HDD.

This item is output only when the firmware version is 93-05-02 or later.

For VSP E1090, this item is displayed between Interface and Drive Type-Code.

* The number of DKBs that control the physical devices depends on the storage configuration, such as the connected DB type. The name of DKB is output in the order from DKB1. A hyphen (-) is displayed if no DKBs are output.
