Get Disk Information

Details

Using oc debug commands, this AI-generated gobbledygook script will collect all of the relevant useful information that can be gathered about attached physical disks. This script will evolve over time, but will use a custom image for running oc debug commands.

While you're here, I would suggest checking out my other dirty hack for getting NIC information!

NOTE: *By default, the variable is used for an SNO. If you want to use another node, just change it to the standard node/<node-name> syntax and this script will work just fine.

NODE_NAME=$(oc get no -o name)

oc debug $NODE_NAME --image=fedora:latest --tty=true --as-root=true -- /bin/bash -c "
    # Inform the user that the process will take some time
    echo 'This process may take a while, depending on the number of connected disks on this system.'
    echo 'Please wait while we gather the data. This process could take several minutes.'
