untested battery will have an Unknown status in the showbattery -s output. Use commands
such as showbattery, showbattery -s, showbattery -d, and showbattery -log.
showbattery -s
Node PS Bat -State-- -Detailed_State-
0 0 0 OK normal
0 1 0 Degraded Unknown
Examine the date of the last successful test of that battery. Assuming the comment date was
2009-10-14, the last battery test on Node 0, PS 1, Bat 0 was 2009-09-10, which is more
than 30 days in the past.

PD
Displays Physical Disks (PDs) with states or conditions that are not optimal.
• Checks for failed and degraded PDs
• Checks for an imbalance of PD ports, for example, if Port-A is used on more disks than Port-B
• Checks for an "Unknown" Sparing Algorithm. For example, when it hasn't been set
• Checks for disks experiencing a high number of IOPS
• Reports if a servicemag operation is outstanding (servicemag status)
• Reports if there are PDs that do not have entries in the firwmare DB file
Format of Possible PD Exception Messages
PD disk:<pdid> "Degraded States: <showpd -s -degraded">
PD disk:<pdid> "Failed States: <showpd -s -failed">
PD -- "There is an imbalance of active PD ports"
PD -- "Sparing algorithm is not set"
PD disk:<pdid> "Disk is experiencing a high level of I/O per second: <iops>"
PD -- There is at least one active servicemag operation in progress
The following checks are performed when the -svc option is used, or on 7400/7200 hardware:
PD File: <filename> "Folder not found on all Nodes in <folder>"
PD File: <filename> "Folder not found on some Nodes in <folder>"
PD File: <filename> "File not found on all Nodes in <folder>"
PD File: <filename> "File not found on some Nodes in <folder>"
PD Disk:<pdID> "<pdmodel> PD for cage type <cagetype> in cage position <pos> is missing
