Monitoring RAID Status and Synchronization

To monitor the RAID status of the disks - CLI:

1. Connect to the command line on the appliance.

2. To monitor the RAID status of the disks, run:

   • raid_diagnostic

     This command shows data about RAID and the disks on a Smart-1 6000-XL when the RAID array is optimal. If a disk synchronizes, it shows what percent is complete.

     

   • cpstat os -f raidInfo

     This command shows the RAID array status on a Smart-1 6000-XL in tabular format.

     

To monitor the RAID status of the disks - Portal:

In the Gaia Portal, go to Maintenance > RAID Monitoring.

All examples show screenshots of a RAID 10 array on a Smart-1 6000-L appliance with 12 disks.

• This example shows the RAID Volumes state as DEGRADED while disk number 2 is in the MISSING state. This indicates that the disk is currently not connected to the appliance.

  
  

• This example shows the RAID Volumes state as DEGRADED while disk number 2 is in the REBUILD state. The disk is out of sync until synchronization is complete.

  
  
  

• This example shows the RAID volumes state as OPTIMAL after the disk completes the rebuild and is in the ONLINE state.
