md3000 reconstruction progress

5/18/2016

Comments

 
One of our clients still use the Dell MD3000i SAN and it's a good low end SAN.  One of the issues though is that the GUI does not show reconstruction progress when you replace a drive.  You have to drop to the command line to get this done.

Navigate to this directory:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\MD Storage Software\MD Storage Manager\client
Run this command

SMcli.exe xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p password -c "show virtualDisk [\"you-vd-name\"] actionProgress";

A couple of things I found on this...
  1. If your SAN has two IP, try both to get this to work
  2. You need quotes around the virtual disk if you have dashes or special characters
  3. Virtual disk name must match exact.  The client was using capital letters and command would not work until I used the capital letters in the command
