cpqDaPhyDrvSeekErrs
Module: CPQIDA-MIB
OID (symbolic): CPQIDA-MIB::cpqDaPhyDrvSeekErrs
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.3.2.5.1.1.21
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: Seek Errors (low). 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, schedule server down time to run diagnostics.
What is cpqDaPhyDrvSeekErrs?
cpqDaPhyDrvSeekErrs holds the low-order 32 bits of the total seek-error count a physical drive detected during the reference-hours window, paired with cpqDaPhyDrvHSeekErrs for the complete total. A steadily climbing value points to the drive's read/write head repeatedly missing its target track, a classic sign of mechanical wear. For instance, an admin polling this OID daily on a five-year-old drive would watch for an unusually steep week-over-week jump as the cue to schedule its replacement.
