214 Implementing the IBM Storwize V7000 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1
You can get the same information with the CLI command lsdependentvdisks. Use the 
parameter -drive with a list of drive IDs that you are checking, separated with a colon (:).
Action: Properties
Select Properties to view more information about the drive, as shown in Figure 6-33.
Figure 6-33   Drive properties
You can find a short description of each drive property by hovering on it and clicking [?]. You 
can also display drive slot details by changing to the Drive Slot tab.
To get all available information about the particular drive, use the CLI command lsdrive with 
drive ID as the parameter. To get slot information, see the lsenclosureslot command.
6.2.2  RAID and DRAID
To use internal Storwize V7000 disks in storage pools, you must join them into RAID arrays to 
form array MDisks.
RAID provides two key design goals:
/SM590000Increased data reliability
/SM590000Increased input/output (I/O) performance 
Note: A lack of dependent volumes does not imply that there are no volumes that use the 
drive. Volume dependency actually shows the list of volumes that would become 
unavailable if the drive or the group of selected drive becomes unavailable.
