Description
In the firmware menu on Sun StorEdge[TM] 3510/3511 arrays, the 'view and edit Logical drives' menu has columns that are helpful in determining the layout of the logical drive.
Here are the definitions of the old firmware menu and the new menu with 4.11i firmware.


Steps to Follow
Sun StorEdge[TM] 3510/3511 Arrays: Definitions of the Logical Drive Firmware Menu:

Refer to Figure 1.


LG   Logical Group

  P   Assigned to Primary
S   Assigned to Secondary

ID   Unique id for the Logical Drive


LV    Logical Volume

    States whether or not the logical drive is associated with a logical
volume, and which one

Raid   Raid Level


Size   Size of the Logical Drive, in Megabytes


Status   Status of the logical Drive

  Good   No Faults
Drv Failed   One or More Failures, Still Have Access to Data
Drv Absent   Missing drive a power on or missing after controller reset
Fatal Fail    One or More Failures, No Access to Data
Incomplete   Too many disks are absent to create a valid logical drive

O   Cache Policy / Stripe Depth

 S   Sequential = 128K blk Size
R   Random = 32K blk Size

#LN   Number of Non-failed Drives in the Logical Drive


#SB   Number of Spare Drives in the Logical Drives


#FL   Number of Failed Drives in the Logical Drive


Name   User Defined Name to Help With Administration

In the new firmware 4.11i and sccli 2.0 (needed for 4.11i firmware) there are
a few additions / changes to the columns.

Refer to Figure 2.


LG   Logical Group

    P   Assigned to Primary
S   Assigned to Secondary

ID   Unique ID for the Logical Drive

 Randomly Generated from controller serial number

LV    Logical Volume

  States whether or not the logical drive is associated with a logical
volume, and which one.

Raid   Raid Level


Size   Size of the Logical Drive


Status 1    Status of the Logical Drive

    Good   No Faults
Drv Failed   One or More Failures, Still Have Access to Data
Drv Absent   Missing drive a power on or missing after controller reset
Fatal Fail    One or More Failures, No Access to Data
Incomplete   Too many disks are absent to create a valid logical drive

2   Flagged if there is a change in the configuration of the Logical Drive

  I   Initializing the Logical Drive
A   Adding Drive/s to the Logical Drive
E   Expanding the  Logical Drive
Will show the percentage with the  LG number in the upper left hand corner under the date.

3   Flagged when Running Parity Check

   P   Parity Check of the Logical Drive
R   Rebuilding the Logical Drive
Will show the percentage with the  LG number in the upper left hand corner under
the date.

O    Optimized Stripe Depth

  This column has changed, and reflects the stripe width ONLY
    2 = 4k Blk Size
3 = 8k Blk Size
4 = 16k Blk Size
5 = 32k Blk Size
6 = 64k Blk Size
7 = 128k Blk Size
8 = 256k Blk Size
Note: 4k and 8k block sizes can only be used with Random (32k) cache policy.

C   Cache Policy

 B   Write Behind
T   Write Through
You can set the 'default' cache policy in the 'view and edit Configuration
parameters --> Caching Parameters. Can be set per logical drive as well.

#LN   Number of Non-failed Drives in the Logical Drive


#SB   Number of Spare Drives in the Logical Drives


#FL   Number of Failed Drives in the Logical Drive


Name   User Defined Name to Help With Administration

Version 2.0 of  sccli also added some fields to reflect the additions of the
firmware menu. You can get the same information, but it will require four
commands to get it.

Refer to Figure 3.


show logical-drives

  Shows all of the fields that are in the 'view and edit Logical drives'
menu, with the exception of logical volume associations
Note the P and I flags at the end of the entries for ld1 and ld3 respectively

show logical-volumes

   Shows logical volumes and their associated logical drives

show logical-drives initializing

   Shows the percentage of all logical drives that are initializing

show logical-drives parity-check

    Show the percentage of all logical drives that are running a parity check
