hi,
I am using omv within my esxi server. I want to use hdparm to monitor whether the the hdds are spinning or not but i am getting error and it always indicates that the hdds are in standby mode.
This is the command i am using
and the output im getting
Code
SG_IO: bad/missing sense data, sb[]: 70 00 00 00 00 00 00 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 09 0c 00 00 00 ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 50
drive state is: standby
The error is the same with each hdds
Anyone having the same problem with esxi? are there alternative methods to get hdd state information?
Below are my relevant configurations:
- esxi 5.0.0
- scsi controller lsi logic parallel (i am getting the same issue with lsi logic sas and paravirtual)
- hdd drives all mapped raw lun
