DS3400 - Getting exact operation progress

  • 772

Ended up adding a disk to a DS3400 array. Unfortunately it's been going for nearly 3 days now.

Is there a way through CLI or otherwise that I can actually see what the completed percentage is?

Thank you.

  1. Have you got the IBM DS Storage Manager software installed? That's used to manage the IBM DS disk systems, and shows a progress bar during an array rebuild. It works just fine with our DS4300.

  2. Yes, you can query the progress using the SMcli command line utility:

    SMcli -n <subsystemName> show logicalDrive [“<logicalDriveName>”] actionProgress;

    Which should return something along the lines of:

    Logical Drive logicalDriveName
Action: Reconstruction
Percent Complete: 74%

  3. Yea you can see progress bar on DS4xxx and DS5xxx series but somehow IBM/LSI figured out that you don`t need it on DS3400...
