Displaying disk ownership

You use disk ownership information on systems that use software-based disk ownership to ensure that your hot spares are correctly assigned, or to troubleshoot disk ownership problems. You view this information with the disk show command.

Considerations

The disk show command is available only for systems using software-based disk ownership.

For more information about the disk show command and its options, see the na_disk(1) man page.

The sysconfig command can be used to display information about disks, but it does not display unassigned disks.

Step

Enter the following command to display a list of all the disks visible to the storage system, whether they are owned or not:disk show -v
Note: You can display ownership information for a particular disk by specifying its address. You can also use the wildcard character (*) to specify multiple disks.

Example disk ownership display

The following sample output of the disk show -v command on an active/active configuration using software-based disk ownership shows disks 0b.16 through 0b.29 assigned in odd/even fashion to the system controllers sh1 and sh2. The fourteen disks on the add-on disk shelf are still unassigned to either system controller.

sh1> disk show -v
