The
show storageSubsystem profile
command returns detailed information about the storage subsystem.
The information appears in several display screens. 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 to a file. To save the output to a file, enter the command as shown in this example:
c:\...\...\client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c “show storageSubsystem profile;”
-o c:\folder\storageSubsystemprofile.txt
In this example, the name folder is the folder in which you choose to place the profile file, and
storageSubsystemprofile.txt is the name of the file. You can choose any folder and any file name.
Note: Attention: Possible loss of data – When you are writing information to a file, the script engine
does not check to determine if the file name already exists. If you choose the name of a file that already
exists, the script engine writes over the information in the file without warning.
Chapter 12, “Examples of Information Returned by the Show Commands,” on page 12-1 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.
To return a brief list of the storage subsystem features and components, use the
summary
parameter. The
command looks like this example:
c:\...\...\client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c “show storageSubsystem summary;”
Following is the type of information that is returned by the
show storageSubsystem
command with the
summary
parameter.
