Parameters

panel_name
(Optional) Identifies the node that is being used.

Description

The command displays information about internal boot drives for the specified node (if applicable).
This table provides the possible values for attributes that are displayed as data in the output views.
Table 1. lsbootdrive attribute values
Attribute Value
panel_id Identifies the panel ID of the node that contains the boot drive. The value is a 7-character alphanumeric string.
node_id Identifies the ID (in decimal format) of the node that contains the boot drive.
node_name Identifies the name of the node that contains the boot drive.
can_sync Indicates when synchronization is needed and is not prevented by another problem. The values are yes or no.
Remember: This value must be yes when status is out_of_sync. If the status is not out_of_sync the value is no.
slot_id Identifies the ID (in decimal format) of the slot within the node.
booted Indicates whether the node started from the specified drive. The values are yes, no.
status Indicates the slot status. The values are:
  • missing indicates that the slot must be occupied, but the software cannot detect a drive. It also indicates the serial number of the expected drive.
  • empty indicates that the slot is supposed to be empty and is empty.
  • unsupported indicates that the slot is supposed to be empty but is not.
  • failed indicates that the drive in the slot is not working.
  • uninitialized indicates that the drive is not formatted for the system.
  • wrong_node indicates that the drive is working but is not in the correct node. It also indicates the serial number of the node the drive must be in and might indicate the serial number of the drive that must be in the slot.
  • wrong_slot indicates that the drive is working correctly - it is in the right node but the wrong slot. It also indicates which drives belong in which slots.
  • out_of_sync indicates that the drive is working correctly but must be resynchronized. Make sure the value of can_sync is yes before you specify the command chbootdrive -sync.
  • online indicates that the drive in the slot is working correctly.
  • unknown indicates that the node is not an active member of the system, and the state of the drive in that slot is unknown.
actual_drive_sn Indicates the serial number of the drive in the slot. The value is an alphanumeric string or blank if no drive is in the slot.
configured_drive_sn Identifies the serial number of the drive that must be in the slot. The value is an alphanumeric string or blank if no drive is in the slot.
actual_node_sn Indicates the serial number of the node the drive (currently in the slot) belongs in. The value is an alphanumeric string or blank if no drive is in the slot.
identify Indicates whether chnodebootdrive -identify is specified. The following values are possible for this attribute:
  • on indicates chbnodeootdrive -identify yes -slot is specified
  • off indicates chnodebootdrive -identify no -slot is specified
  • N/A indicates that the drive slot cannot be identified.
FRU_part_number Identifies the field-replaceable unit (FRU) part number of the drive. The value is a 7-character alphanumeric string or blank if no drive exists. The value is N/A if the drive is not supplied for your system.
FRU_identity Identifies the 11S number that combines the manufacturing part number and serial number. The value is a 22-character alphanumeric string. The value is N/A if the drive is not supplied for your system.
Note: If the status is out_of_sync and can_sync is set to no, look for an indication to determine what must be fixed to make resynchronization possible.
