How to list all disks in the Cluster or just in a CVM


This is a good way to collect all disk serials in a Cluster or CVM, either to locate a faulty disk by its serial (issued as an alert in the Web GUI) or to do a simple inventory with only the available disks.

To list all disks of the cluster, log on to a CVM and run the following command.

nutanix@cvm~$ allssh list_disks
