3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller CLI Guide

Example:

//localhost> /c0/p5 show smart

/c0/p5 Drive SMART Data:

10 00 01 0B 00 C8 C8 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 07

00 9A 96 BC 14 00 00 00 00 00 04 32 00 64 64 7A

...

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 2C

show all

This command shows the current setting for all port-related attributes: status,
model, serial, firmware, capacity, and smart.

Example:

//localhost> /c0/p0 show all

/c0/p0 Status = OK

/c0/p0 Model = Maxtor 7B300S0

/c0/p0 Firmware Version = BANC1980

/c0/p0 Serial = B605X31H

/c0/p0 Capacity = 279.48 GB (586114704 Blocks)

/c0/p0 Identify Status - NA

/c0/p0 SATA Link Speed Supported = 1.5 Gb/s

/c0/p0 SATA Link Speed = 1.5 Gb/s

/c0/p0 NCQ Supported = No

/c0/p0 NCQ Enabled = No

/c0/p0 Belongs to Unit = u1

/c0/p0 Drive Smart Data:

0A 00 01 0F 00 3D 33 25 8C BA 03 00 00 00 03 03

00 61 60 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 32 00 64 64 00

00 00 00 00 00 00 05 33 00 64 64 00 00 00 00 00

00 00 07 0F 00 4E 3E 05 13 D8 03 00 00 00 09 32

...

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 8D

Note:

The SMART data is not decoded. If the drive attached to the specified port is

not present or if there are cabling problems reaching the drive, CLI will return an
error. This can be one way of detecting whether or not a drive is present.
