It does not seem possible to show more precises logical and physical drives sizes using hpacucli.

For example, below I can only see sizes in TB and I cannot figure out how to display them in MB.

hpacucli ctrl slot=1 pd 2I:1:1 show

Smart Array P222 in Slot 1

   unassigned

      physicaldrive 2I:1:1
         Port: 2I
         Box: 1
         Bay: 1
         Status: OK
         Drive Type: Unassigned Drive
         Interface Type: SATA
         Size: 2 TB
         Rotational Speed: 7200
         Firmware Revision: HPG1    
         Serial Number: BLAH        
         Model: ATA     MB2000GCVBR     
         SATA NCQ Capable: True
         SATA NCQ Enabled: True
         Current Temperature (C): 31
         Maximum Temperature (C): 43
         PHY Count: 1
         PHY Transfer Rate: 6.0Gbps
         Drive Authentication Status: OK
   Carrier Application Version: 11
   Carrier Bootloader Version: 6

How can I get more accurate sizes of my physical and logical drives?

Thanks for your help.

No, this is not possible.

In your configurations, you would specify logical drive sizes in Megabytes. As for Physical Drive sizes, how much detail do you need? A 2TB disk is a 2TB disk. A 600GB disk is a 600GB disk, etc. Typical display:

physicaldrive 2I:1:6 (port 2I:box 1:bay 6, SAS, 600.1 GB, OK)

physicaldrive 2I:1:5 (port 2I:box 1:bay 5, SAS, 300 GB, OK)

physicaldrive 1I:1:4 (port 1I:box 1:bay 4, SAS, 146 GB, OK)

Do you need something more granular?

A more complex arrangement would look like, but the configuration parameters for the logical drives are input in Megabyte units:

=> ctrl all show config        

Smart Array P410i in Slot 0 (Embedded)    (sn: 5001438017F5AF20)

   array A (SAS, Unused Space: 186572  MB)


      logicaldrive 1 (72.0 GB, RAID 1+0, OK)
      logicaldrive 2 (475.0 GB, RAID 1+0, OK)
      logicaldrive 3 (200.0 GB, RAID 1+0, OK)

      physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 300 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 300 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 1:bay 3, SAS, 300 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 2I:1:5 (port 2I:box 1:bay 5, SAS, 300 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 2I:1:6 (port 2I:box 1:bay 6, SAS, 300 GB, OK)
      physicaldrive 2I:1:7 (port 2I:box 1:bay 7, SAS, 300 GB, OK)

Edit:

Compare:

  physicaldrive 0:0 (box 0:bay 0, SAS, 1 TB, OK)
  physicaldrive 0:0 (box 0:bay 0, SAS, 1 TB, OK)
  physicaldrive 0:0 (box 0:bay 0, SAS, 1 TB, OK)
  physicaldrive 0:0 (box 0:bay 0, SAS, 1 TB, OK)

  • Thanks for your answer. I've already seen I can create a new logical drive with sizes in MB however I can't display precise created logical drive sizes.

  • @tuxkowo can you provide more context about what you're doing and why it's important to show disk sizes in more granular units?

  • What is imprecise about 200.0GB? Is it a GB vs. GiB concern?

  • @ewwhite: I need it to store sizes in DB to provide a tool for creating an UI to manage LD. I already have sizes stored there and I can't figure out where they come from (I haven't done that part)

    @ewwhite: It seems to be also available in XML file produced by "hpacucli ctrl slot=%i diag" command.

You can use units to convert for you:

$ PARSED_SIZE="2 TB"
$ units --compact --one-line "$PARSED_SIZE" MB
2000000
