Determining the IBM i disk drive or solid-state drive protection status

To determine the protection status of the drives in your IBM i system or logical partition, follow these
steps from the System Service Tools (SST) display:
Tip: If you do not know the protection status of the drives and you cannot get to the System Service
Tools display, contact your next level of support.
1. Sign on with at least service level authority.
2. Type strsst on the command line of the IBM i session and press Enter.
3. Type your service tools user ID and service tools password on the Start Service Tools (STRSST) Sign
On display. Press Enter.
Note: The service tools password is case-sensitive.
4. Select Work with disk units from the System Service Tools (SST) display. Press Enter.
5. Select Display Disk Configuration from the Work with Disk Units display. Press Enter.
6. Select Display Disk Configuration Status from the Display Disk Configuration display. Press Enter.
A list of each auxiliary storage pool (ASP) displays, showing the drives that are members of the ASP.
The Status column shows one of the following protection statuses for the ASP:
v Mirrored. These ASPs are configured for mirrored protection. If the failing drive has mirrored
protection, record the status of both drives in the mirrored pair. You need this information in the
recovery procedure.
v Unprotected. An ASP with a status of Unprotected might contain drives that are device parity
protected. Record the status of the failing drive as it is shown in the Status column of the Display
Disk Configuration Status display.
A drive with one of the following statuses has device parity protection only if all other drives in the
array are operational:
– DPY/Active
– DPY/Failed
– DPY/HDW Failure
– DPY/Degraded
– DPY/Power Loss
– DPY/Not Ready
– DPY/Unknown
A drive with any other status (such as DPY/Rebuild or DPY/Unprotected) does not have device
parity protection.
