Description: SCSI Physical Drive Seek Errors.

This is the number of times a drive head seek failed during the service time (phyDrvServiceHours).

Seek errors will occasionally occur over time. Having a large number of seek errors does not necessarily indicate that the drive is failing. However, you may wish to replace a drive with an abnormally high amount in comparison to other similiar drives as a precaution.

What is cpqScsiPhyDrvSeekErrs?

This counter tracks the number of times a drive head seek operation failed during its service time. Occasional seek errors are normal, but the object lets admins compare a drive against similar drives to spot one with an abnormally high count worth replacing as a precaution. For example, one disk in a shelf of otherwise-matching drives showing a much larger seekErrs total would be a candidate for proactive swap.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.5.2.4.1.1.20
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CPQSCSI-MIB::cpqScsiPhyDrvSeekErrs

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.232.5.2.4.1.1.20.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CPQSCSI-MIB::cpqScsiPhyDrvSeekErrs.1
