The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This document describes a procedure when you experience disk performance utilization reaching 100% and the need to check whether it is an application issue or a hardware issue, you are required to run several commands to analyze the situation.
There are no specific requirements for this document.
The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
The system works slow and is not stable. You experience disk performance utilization reaching 100%.
The fast and easy way is to access the management web interface and examine the storage hardware status.
When there is no access to Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) remote management for Unified Computing System (UCS) Series or Integrated Lights-Out (ILO) on HP servers, you can get the information about the RAID and disk(s) using this method:
For Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers:
Debian distributions use a package named "megacli".
More information about this tool - http://hwraid.le-vert.net/wiki/LSIMegaRAIDSAS
Examples how to use the command - http://www.mostlychris.com/blog/2009/07/29/check-raid-status-with-megacli/
The package for debian can be downloaded and installed.
Note: It is tested with megacli_8.07.14-1_amd64.deb
In order to check which harware controllers are used, run command: sudo lspci -vv | grep -i RAID
e.g.
82:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2208 [Thunderbolt] (rev 05)
Kernel driver in use: megaraid_sas
more information about this command can be found in:
Running it as root, run command: sudo /usr/bin/megacli
Step 1. Find your RAID controller details, run command: lspci -vv | grep -i RAID.
The RAID controller is a device.
$ lspci -vv | grep -i RAID 82:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2208 [Thunderbolt] (rev 05) Kernel driver in use: megaraid_sas

Step 6. Consistency check interval settings, run command: sudo megacli -AdpCcSched -Info -aALL.
The RAID controller performs a consistency check of the RAID every 7 days. The value delay 168 shown in here is in hours.
$ sudo megacli -AdpCcSched -Info -aALL Adapter #0 Operation Mode: Concurrent Execution Delay: 168 Next start time: 02/20/2016, 03:00:00 Current State: Active Number of iterations: 43 Number of VD completed: 0 Excluded VDs : None Exit Code: 0x00

Battery check
You can save the log for later analysis.
For HP there is a special package for Debian which needs to be installed in order to gain access to the RAID controller and physical disks. The package is named hpacucli_9.40.1-1._amd64.deb
Step 1. Installation:
When the installation is finished, you can work with the RAID manipulation by using the following CLI tool: hpacucli
The tool allows fetching appropriate information from the RAID controller as well as changing configuration with the RAID components.
Step 2. Display controller configuration details, run command: hpacucli ctrl all show config detail.

At times a bad battery in one of the servers can be the reason for it. You should replace it.
This solves the problem and reduces the high disk performance utilization.
