Show Storage Array

This command returns configuration information about the storage array. The parameters return lists of values for the components and features in the storage array. You can enter the command with a single parameter or more than one parameter. If you enter the command without any parameters, the entire storage array profile is displayed (which is the same information as if you entered the profile parameter).

Syntax

show storageArray profile batteryAge connections defaultHostType healthStatus hostTypeTable hotSpareCoverage features time virtual diskDistribution summary

Parameters

Parameter	Description
profile	Displays all properties of the logical and physical components that comprise the storage array. The information returned takes several screens to display.
batteryAge	Displays the status, age of the battery in days, and the number of days until the battery needs to be replaced.
connections	This parameter displays a list of where the physical disk channel ports are located and where the physical disk channels are connected.
defaultHostType	Displays the default host type and host type index.
healthStatus	Displays the health, logical properties, and physical component properties of the storage array.
hostTypeTable	Displays a table of all host types known to the RAID controller module. Each row in the table displays a host type index and the platform the index represents.
hotSpareCoverage	Displays information about which virtual disks of the storage array have hot spare coverage and which virtual disks do not.
features	Displays a list of the feature identifiers for all enabled features in the storage array.
summary	This parameter returns a concise list of information about the storage array.
time	Displays the current time to which both RAID controller modules in the storage array are set.
virtual diskDistribution	Displays the current RAID controller module owner for each virtual disk in the storage array.

Notes

The profile parameter returns detailed information about the storage array. The information covers several screens on a display. You may need to increase the size of your display buffer to see all the information. Because this information is so detailed, you may want to save the output of this parameter to a file. To save the output to a file enter the show storageArray command similar to the following:

c:\...\sm9\client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "show storagearray profile;" -o "c:\\folder\\storagearray profile.txt"

(The previous command syntax is for a host running a Windows operating system. The actual syntax will vary depending on your operating system.)

Show Storage Array shows the type of information returned. When you save the information to a file you can use the information as a record of your configuration and as an aid during recovery.

The E6000 series command modules do not support the show storageArray batteryAge command.

The batteryAge parameter returns information in the form:

The defaultHostType parameter returns information in the form:

The healthStatus parameter returns information in the form:

The hostTypeTable parameter returns information in the form:

The hotSpareCoverage parameter returns information in the form:

The features parameter returns information in the form:

The time parameter returns information in the form:

The virtual diskDistribution parameter returns information in the form:

Minimum Firmware Level

5.00 for the defaultHostType parameter
