To monitor the RAID status of the storage devices from the CLI:
1.
Log in to the appliance.
2.
Run:
raid_diagnostic
The output shows data about the RAID and storage devices, with the percent of
synchronization completed.
DiskID 0 is the top storage device. DiskID 1 is the bottom storage device.
After first boot and replacing a second storage device, the RAID State (in the VolumeID line)
shows DEGRADED (this indicates that the drives are not synchronized). The DiskID:0 state shows
ONLINE and the DiskID:1 state shows INITIALIZING.
After the RAID is synchronized, the RAID state (in the VolumeID line) shows OPTIMAL (this
indicates that the drives are synchronized). The DiskID:0 and DiskID:1 state show ONLINE.
Example 1: RAID status for fully synchronized storage devices (disk size and vendor may vary):
Server123> raid_diagnostic
Raid status:
VolumeID:0 RaidLevel: RAID-1 NumberOfDisks:2 RaidSize:465GB
State:OPTIMAL Flags:ENABLED
DiskID:0 DiskNumber:0 Vendor:ATAProductID:HGST HTE25050A7
Revision:GS2O Size:465GB State:ONLINE Flags:NONE
DiskID:1 DiskNumber:1 Vendor:ATAProductID:HGST HTE25050A7
Revision:GS2O Size:465GB State:ONLINE Flags:NONE
Example 2: RAID status for one fully synchronized storage device and another device that was
removed (disk size may vary):
Server123> raid_diagnostic
Raid status:
VolumeID:0 RaidLevel: RAID-1 NumberOfDisks:2 RaidSize:465GB
State:DEGRADED Flags:VOLUME_INACTIVE
DiskID:0 DiskNumber:0 Vendor:NONE ProductID:NONE Revision:NONE
Size:0GB State:MISSING Flags:NONE
DiskID:1 DiskNumber:1 Vendor:ATAProductID:HGST HTE25050A7
