Table A-13. Virtual Machine Storage Panel Interactive Commands
Command Description
e
Expand or roll up storage world statistics. Allows you to view storage resource utilization statistics
separated by individual worlds belonging to a group. You are prompted to enter the group ID.
The statistics are per world.
l
Expand or roll up storage device, that is LUN, statistics. Allows you to view storage resource
utilization statistics separated by individual devices belonging to an expanded world. You are
prompted to enter the world ID.
V
Display virtual machine instances only.
r
Sort by READS/s column.
w
Sort by WRITES/s column.
R
Sort by MBREAD/s column.
T
Sort by MBWRTN/s column.
