how to see disk status rebuild - degraded storage raid array

Hi all,

On esxi-5.5 I am trying to see disks rebuild status via command line. If am am using vcenter, I can see that storage status is degraded and also see which disk is ok and which one is in rebuilding state. Still missing percentage of complete operation (need it to estimate somehow time till entire array will be rebuild). See attached picture ...

How can I see it via command line? Which command to use? All I tried till now on esxi-5.5 server did not returned what I want.

~ # esxcli software vib list | grep -i lsi

Good morning, is this for vSAN or disks in a RAID presented to ESX?  If it's the latter, I would think the best way to find this is from a CLI utility provided by the card manufacturer.

If it is vSAN then the RVC command vsan.resync_dashboard, should give you what you need.  http://www.virten.net/2013/12/manage-vsan-with-rvc-part-2-vsan-cluster-administration

Thank you, Zach.

Hi Zach,

Yes, it is a RAID virtual disk. Finally I sove it by installing MegaCli from avago.

/opt/lsi/MegaCLI # ./MegaCli -PDRbld -ShowProg -PhysDrv [:1] -a0

Rebuild Progress on Device at Enclosure N/A, Slot 1 Completed 7% in 170 Minutes.

Exit Code: 0x00
/opt/lsi/MegaCLI #

Thanks for hint Smiley Wink, It is working Smiley Happy
