cpqFcaPhyDrvFormatErrs

Module: CPQFCA-MIB

OID (symbolic): CPQFCA-MIB::cpqFcaPhyDrvFormatErrs

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.16.2.5.1.1.28

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: Format Error.

The number of times a format operation failed when the controller attempted to remap a bad sector during the reference time (phyDrvRefTime). Zero indicates that no format errors have occurred. The value increases each time a format error occurs. A failed format operation may cause the controller to mark a drive failed.

If you suspect a problem, run diagnostics to verify a problem exists.

If the value cannot be determined, 4,294,967,295 is returned.

What is cpqFcaPhyDrvFormatErrs?

This counter reports the number of times a format operation failed when the controller tried to remap a bad sector on the drive during the reference time, with zero meaning no format errors have occurred. An admin watches this because a failed format operation can cause the controller to mark the entire drive as failed. For example, a rising format error count on an otherwise-ok drive is an early warning sign worth running diagnostics on before the controller fails the drive outright.
