HP P2000 G3 MSA System CLI Reference Guide 213
show disks
Description Shows information about all disks in the storage system. If no parameter is specified, the command
shows information for all installed disks.
NOTE: In console format, to aid reading, disks are sorted to display in order by enclosure and disk
number. In API formats, output is not sorted because it is expected to be manipulated by a host
application.
