Module: CPQFCA-MIB

OID (symbolic): CPQFCA-MIB::cpqFcaPhyDrvHSeekErrs

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.16.2.5.1.1.19

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter

Access: read-only

Description: Seek Errors (High).

The phyDrvHSeekErrs and the phyDrvSeekErrs together shows the total number of times that the physical disk drive detected a seek error during the reference hours (phyDrvRefHours).

The actual number of seek errors equals the phyDrvHSeekErrs times 2^32 plus the phyDrvWriteSeekErrs.

Over time, a disk drive usually produces these errors. If you notice a rapid increase in the value shown for Seek Errors, this physical drive may be failing.

The value increases every time the physical drive produces another error. Only an unusually rapid increase in these errors indicates a problem. If you suspect that a problem exists, run diagnostics.

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

What is cpqFcaPhyDrvHSeekErrs?

This counter provides the high-order 32 bits of the total seek errors detected by the physical drive during its reference hours, combined with cpqFcaPhyDrvSeekErrs by multiplying this value by 2^32. An admin uses the combined seek error total, which tends to rise naturally over a drive's life, to spot a drive whose seek error rate is climbing unusually fast compared to its peers. For example, a nonzero HSeekErrs value indicates the drive has accumulated more than 4 billion seek errors and needs the low-order counter added for an accurate figure.
