RAID Rebuild Status on HMC

After a defective disk has been replaced, the HMC user cannot see the status or progress of the RAID rebuilt. Only "lshmc -h" is available, to see the following status "degraded | n/a | enabled".
However, this is essential for the further use of the HMC.
Only as root user you can query the status with the command:
/var/petitboot/mnt/dev/sdb2/opt/marvell/bin/mvcli
> info -o vd

Here some more details:
> info -o vd -i 0
