This command returns configuration information about the storage subsystem. The parameters return lists of values for the components and features in the storage subsystem. 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 subsystem profile is shown (which is the same information as if you entered the profile parameter).

Parameter | Description |
---|---|
profile | The parameter to show all of the properties of the logical components and the physical components that comprise the storage subsystem. The information appears in several screens. |
autoSupportConfiguration |
The parameter to return information about the current state of the operation to
automatically collect support data. The information this parameter returns is:
|
batteryAge | The parameter to show the status, the age of the battery in days, and the number of days until the battery needs to be replaced. |
connections | The parameter to show a list of where the disk drive channel ports are located and where the disk drive channels are connected. |
defaultHostType | The parameter to show the default host type and the host type index. |
healthStatus | The parameter to show the health, logical properties, and physical component properties of the storage subsystem. |
hostTypeTable | The parameter to show a table of all of the host types that are known to the controller. Each row in the table shows a host type index and the platform that the host type index represents. |
hotSpareCoverage | The parameter to show information about which logical drives of the storage subsystem have hot spare coverage and which logical drives do not. |
features | The parameter to show a list of the feature identifiers for all enabled premium features in the storage subsystem. |
time | The parameter to show the current time to which both controllers in the storage subsystem are set. |
logicalDriveDistribution | The parameter to show the current controller owner for each logical drive in the storage subsystem. |
summary | The parameter to show a concise list of information about the storage subsystem configuration. |
The profile parameter shows detailed information about the storage subsystem. The information appears on several screens on a display monitor. You might need to increase the size of your display buffer to see all of the information. Because this information is so detailed, you might want to save the output of this parameter to a file. To save the output to a file, run the show storageSubsystem command that looks like this example.
-c “show storageSubsystem profile;” -o “c:\\folder\\storageSubsystem profile.txt”
The previous command syntax is for a host that is running a Windows operating system. The actual syntax varies depending on your operating system.
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 newer controller modules do not support the batteryAge parameter.
The batteryAge parameter returns information in this form.
Battery status: Optimal Age: 1 day(s) Days until replacement: 718 day(s)
The defaultHostType parameter returns information in this form.
Default host type: Linux (Host type index 6)
The healthStatus parameter returns information in this form.
Storage subsystem health status = optimal.
The hostTypeTable parameter returns information in this form.
NVSRAM HOST TYPE INDEX DEFINITIONS INDEX AVT STATUS TYPE 0 Disabled Windows NT Non-Clustered (SP5 or higher) 1 (Default) Disabled Windows 2000/Server 2003 Non-Clustered 2 Disabled Solaris 3 Enabled HP-UX 4 Disabled AIX 5 Disabled Irix 6 Enabled Linux 7 Disabled Windows NT Clustered (SP5 or higher) 8 Disabled Windows 2000/Server 2003 Clustered 9 Enabled Netware Non-Failover 10 Enabled PTX 11 Enabled Netware Failover 12 Enabled Solaris (with Veritas DMP)
The hotSpareCoverage parameter returns information in this form.
The following arrays are not protected: 2, 1 Total hot spare drives: 0 Standby: 0 In use: 0
The features parameter returns information in this form.
storagePartitionMax flashcopy remoteMirror volumeCopy
The time parameter returns information in this form.
Controller in Slot A Date/Time: Thu Jun 03 14:54:55 MDT 2004 Controller in Slot B Date/Time: Thu Jun 03 14:54:55 MDT 2004
The logicalDriveDistribution parameter returns information in this form.
logical drive name: 10 Current owner is controller in slot: A logical drive name: CTL 0 Mirror Repository Current owner is controller in slot: A logical drive name: Mirror Repository 1 Current owner is controller in slot:A logical drive name: 20 Current owner is controller in slot:A logical drive name: JCG_Remote_MirrorMenuTests Current owner is controller in slot:A
