eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by HwDriveTest

The HwDriveTest monitors the overall health of logical and physical drives of a disk array. Currently, this test is only supported on servers where the HP/Compaq Insight agent is running.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Condition Represents the condition of a logical or physical drive. Number For a logical drive, this value represents the overall condition of the logical drive and any associated physical drives. For a physical drive, this value represents its overall condition. A value of 1 indicates normalcy. A value of 2 indicates a degraded condition, while a value of 3 indicates a critical condition.

Status This value indicates the status of a physical or logical drive. Number The following values are valid for the physical drive status:

Value Description Explanation
1 Other Indicates that the instrument agent does not recognize the drive. You may need to upgrade your instrument agent and/or driver software.
2 ok Indicates the drive is functioning properly.
3 failed Indicates that the drive is no longer operating and should be replaced.
4 predictiveFailure Indicates that the drive has a predictive failure error and should be replaced.

For a logical drive, the following values are valid:

Value Description Explanation
2 Ok Indicates that the logical drive is in normal operation mode.
3 Failed Indicates that more physical drives have failed than the fault tolerance mode of the logical drive can handle without data loss.
4 Unconfigured Indicates that the logical drive is not configured.
5 Recovering Indicates that the logical drive is using Interim Recovery Mode. In Interim Recovery Mode, at least one physical drive has failed, but the logical drive's fault tolerance mode lets the drive continue to operate with no data loss.
6 Ready Rebuild Indicates that the logical drive is ready for Automatic Data Recovery. The physical drive that failed has been replaced, but the logical drive is still operating in Interim Recovery Mode.
7 Rebuilding Indicates that the logical drive is currently doing Automatic Data Recovery. During Automatic Data Recovery, fault tolerance algorithms restore data to the replacement drive.
8 Wrong Drive Indicates that the wrong physical drive was replaced after a physical drive failure.
9 Bad Connect Indicates that a physical drive is not responding.
10 Overheating Indicates that the drive array enclosure that contains the logical drive is overheating. The drive array is still functioning, but should be shutdown.
11 Shutdown Indicates that the drive array enclosure that contains the logical drive has overheated. The logical drive is no longer functioning.
12 Expanding Indicates that the logical drive is currently doing Automatic Data Expansion. During Automatic Data Expansion, fault tolerance algorithms redistribute logical drive data to the newly added physical drive.
13 Not Available Indicates that the logical drive is currently unavailable. If a logical drive is expanding and the new configuration frees additional disk space, this free space can be configured into another logical volume. If this is done, the new volume will be set to not available.
14 Queued For Expansion Indicates that the logical drive is ready for Automatic Data Expansion. The logical drive is in the queue for expansion.
