RAID.Integrated.1-1
Name = PERC H710P Adapter (Embedded)

The following examples show the pending operation when used with storage get <object> commands:

To list storage objects without displaying the properties:

This operation displays vdisk, which has pending operation:

racadm storage get vdisks -pending
DISK.Virtual.267386880:RAID.Slot.5-1

This operation displays controllers, which have pending operations:
```
racadm storage get controllers -pending 
RAID.Integrated.1-1
```

This operation displays pdisk, which has pending operation:

racadm storage get pdisks -pending 
Disk.Bay.20:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1

This operation displays enclosures, which have pending operations:

racadm storage get enclosures -pending 
Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1

Changing the attribute by using racadm set storage or storage configuration command displays the storage object in the -pending command output. If there are no pending objects, the following error message is displayed:

racadm storage get pdisks -pending 
ERROR: STOR0103 : No physical disks are displayed.
Check if the server has power, physical disks are available, and physical disks are connected to the enclosure or backplane.

The following examples show the pending operation while listing the properties:

By default, if there is no change in properties, the -pending command displays the current value. If the property has any pending objects, the -pending command displays the pending value.

This operation displays the current state of pdisk, which is in Ready state:

/admin1-> racadm storage get pdisks -o -p state
Disk.Bay.4:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1
   State                            = Ready

This operation displays state of a pdisk on which createvd operation is pending:

/admin1-> racadm storage get pdisks -o -p state -pending
Disk.Bay.4:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1
