2.2.1.4 Verifying Virtual Drive Configuration

To verify the virtual drive configuration, use the following command to verify the virtual drive configuration:

Note:

If you are running Oracle Exadata System Software 19.1.0 or later, substitute /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 for /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 in the following commands:

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 CfgDsply -aALL | grep "Virtual Drive:";    \
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 CfgDsply -aALL | grep "Number Of Drives";  \
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 CfgDsply -aALL | grep "^State" 

The following is an example of the output for Oracle Exadata Database Machine X4-2, Oracle Exadata Database Machine X3-2 and Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2. The virtual device 0 should have four drives, and the state is Optimal.

Virtual Drive                 : 0 (Target Id: 0)
Number Of Drives              : 4
State                         : Optimal

The expected output for Oracle Exadata Database Machine X3-8 Full Rack and Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-8 Full Rack displays the virtual device has eight drives and a state of optimal.

Note:

If a disk replacement was performed on a database server without using the dualboot=no option, then the database server may have three virtual devices. Contact Oracle Support and reference My Oracle Support note 1323309.1 for additional information and corrective steps.
