1 DISKINFO(1M) Maintenance Commands DISKINFO(1M)
2
3 NAME
4 diskinfo - provide disk device inventory and status
5
6 SYNOPSIS
7 diskinfo [-Hp] [-c|-P]
8
9 DESCRIPTION
10 The diskinfo tool provides information about the disk devices in the
11 system. Because it interacts with the kernel's device management
12 subsystem, this tool can be used only from the global zone. If run in
13 any other zone, its output will be incomplete and unreliable.
14
15 There are three main modes. The default mode, when neither the -c nor -P
16 option is specified, provides a basic inventory of the disk devices in
17 the system. Each line describes a single device and contains the
18 device's attachment bus or fabric type, the base name of the device in
19 the /dev/dsk directory, the disk's vendor and product identification
20 strings, the size (storage capacity) of the device, whether the device is
21 removable, and whether it is solid-state.
22
23 The -P option selects physical mode. In this mode, each line of output
24 likewise describes one disk device; however, the fields provided indicate
25 the base name of the device in the /dev/dsk directory, the disk's vendor
26 and product identification strings, the serial number of the device,
27 whether the device is faulty as diagnosed by fmd(1M), whether the locate
28 or identification indicator is on for the device (if one is present), and
29 the chassis and bay number containing the disk if known.
30
31 The -c option selects compact mode. This mode provides all of the
32 information provided by both the default mode and physical mode in a
33 compact format.
34
35 See OUTPUT FIELDS below for a detailed description of each column.
36
37 OPTIONS
38 -c Select compact mode output. At most one of -c and -P may be
39 present on the command line.
40
41 -H Do not print a header. This provides output suitable for passing
42 into text processing tools.
43
44 -P Select physical mode output. At most one of -P and -c may be
45 present on the command line.
46
47 -p Parsable output. When -p is selected, the size (storage
48 capacity) is output in bytes instead of in human-readable units,
49 and the device's location (if known) is provided as a comma-
50 separated chassis and bay number instead of a human-readable
51 location. This option may be used in any output mode and is
52 intended for use by scripts or other robotic tooling.
53
54 OUTPUT FIELDS
55 DISK The base name of the device node within the /dev/dsk directory.
56 The names of partitions and/or slices, if any, are derived from
57 this name as described by prtvtoc(1M).
109
110 This field is available in compact and default output modes.
111
112 SSD A boolean field indicating whether the device is solid-state.
113
114 This field is available only in default output mode.
115
116 TYPE The transport (fabric or bus) type by which the storage device
117 is attached to the host, if known. Typical transports include
118 SCSI and USB.
119
120 This field is available in compact and default output modes.
121
122 VID The vendor identification string reported by the device.
123
124 This field is available in all output modes.

3 NAME
4 diskinfo - provide disk device inventory and status

6 SYNOPSIS
7 diskinfo [-aHp] [-c|-P]
8
9 DESCRIPTION
10 The diskinfo tool provides information about the disk devices in the
11 system. Because it interacts with the kernel's device management
12 subsystem, this tool can be used only from the global zone. If run in
13 any other zone, its output will be incomplete and unreliable.
14
15 There are three main modes. The default mode, when neither the -c nor -P
16 option is specified, provides a basic inventory of the disk devices in
17 the system. Each line describes a single device and contains the
18 device's attachment bus or fabric type, the base name of the device in
19 the /dev/dsk directory, the disk's vendor and product identification
20 strings, the size (storage capacity) of the device, whether the device is
21 removable, and whether it is solid-state.
22
23 The -P option selects physical mode. In this mode, each line of output
24 likewise describes one disk device; however, the fields provided indicate
25 the base name of the device in the /dev/dsk directory, the disk's vendor
26 and product identification strings, the serial number of the device,
27 whether the device is faulty as diagnosed by fmd(1M), whether the locate
28 or identification indicator is on for the device (if one is present), and
29 the chassis and bay number containing the disk if known.
30
31 The -c option selects compact mode. This mode provides all of the
32 information provided by both the default mode and physical mode in a
33 compact format.
34
35 See OUTPUT FIELDS below for a detailed description of each column.
36
37 OPTIONS
38 -a Show all disk bays, including those don't have disks installed.
39
40 -c Select compact mode output. At most one of -c and -P may be
41 present on the command line.
42
43 -H Do not print a header. This provides output suitable for passing
44 into text processing tools.
45
46 -P Select physical mode output. At most one of -P and -c may be
47 present on the command line.
48
49 -p Parsable output. When -p is selected, the size (storage
50 capacity) is output in bytes instead of in human-readable units,
51 and the device's location (if known) is provided as a comma-
52 separated chassis and bay number instead of a human-readable
53 location. This option may be used in any output mode and is
54 intended for use by scripts or other robotic tooling.
55
56 OUTPUT FIELDS
57 DISK The base name of the device node within the /dev/dsk directory.
58 The names of partitions and/or slices, if any, are derived from
59 this name as described by prtvtoc(1M).
111
112 This field is available in compact and default output modes.
113
114 SSD A boolean field indicating whether the device is solid-state.
115
116 This field is available only in default output mode.
117
118 TYPE The transport (fabric or bus) type by which the storage device
119 is attached to the host, if known. Typical transports include
120 SCSI and USB.
121
122 This field is available in compact and default output modes.
123
124 VID The vendor identification string reported by the device.
