DS3400 - Getting exact operation progress

Question

Ended up adding a disk to a DS3400 array. Unfortunately it's been going for nearly 3 days now.

Is there a way through CLI or otherwise that I can actually see what the completed percentage is?

Thank you.

How large is the existing array? I'm guessing its using RAID5 — Dave Cheney, Feb 24 '10 at 06:20

Have you got the IBM DS Storage Manager software installed? That's used to manage the IBM DS disk systems, and shows a progress bar during an array rebuild. It works just fine with our DS4300.

Yes, you can query the progress using the SMcli command line utility:

SMcli -n <subsystemName> show logicalDrive [“<logicalDriveName>”] actionProgress;

Which should return something along the lines of:

Logical Drive logicalDriveName
Action: Reconstruction
Percent Complete: 74%

Yea you can see progress bar on DS4xxx and DS5xxx series but somehow IBM/LSI figured out that you don`t need it on DS3400...
