HP Utilities for C-Class BL460c G1

Here is a little summary of the commands you can script it up or cron it to check the health of the blades.

I'm doing them on ProLiant Support Pack 8.12 in Linux

- Raid Health Check
This will list the logical drive in the blade.
If there is any replacement of disk, you will see the resyncing of the disk here.
If there is fault on the array, the error will be displayed here as well.

# hpacucli ctrl slot=0 logicaldrive all show


- Health Check for array controller, cache and battery
This list the health of the a/m.

# hpacucli ctrl all show status


- Detailed Information on the Smart Array
This display the serial number of the array controller as well as the cache.
Hardware revision and firmware version as well as other disk settings are also displayed.

# hpacucli ctrl slot=0 show


- Enable/Disable drive cache
Some controllers and drives support physical drive write cache, but since this is not backed by battery, it is recommended to disable the disk write cache or use a backup power supply.

# hpacucli ctrl slot=0 modify dwc= [forced]


- Display the list of arrays and the physical drives belonging to the array
This will display the logical mapping of the physical disk to the array.

# hpacucli controller all show config


- Display the list of arrays and the physical drives belonging to the array with more details
Includes the previous command with mount point, disk name, disk information and its firmware revision and serial number.

# hpacucli controller all show config detail


- Display a variety of health and information status of the blade
ASR, BOOT, DIMM, F1, FANS, HT, IML, IPL, NAME, PORTMAP, POWERSUPPLY,
PXE, SERIAL , SERVER, TEMP UID, WOL

# hpasmcli -s "show "
