52 Determining What Is on Your Storage Array
Determining
What Is on Your
Storage Array Even when you create a configuration on a storage array that has never been
configured, you still need to determine the hardware features and software features
that are on the storage array. When you configure a storage array that has an existing
configuration, you must make sure that your new configuration does not inadvertently
alter the existing configuration, unless you are reconfiguring the entire storage array.
For example, consider the case where you want to use unassigned drives to create a
new volume group or a new disk pool. Before you create a new volume group or a
new disk pool, you must determine which drives are available. The commands that are
described in this section help you to determine the components and the features in
your storage array.
The command that returns general information about the storage array is the
show
storageArray
command. This command returns information about the
components and properties of your storage array, including these items:

A detailed profile of the components and features in the storage array

The age of the battery

The default host type (which is the current host type)

Other host types that you can select

The hot spare locations

The identifiers for enabled premium features

The logical component profiles and the physical component profiles

The time to which both controllers are set

The controller that currently owns each volume in the storage array
To return the most information about the storage array, run the
show
storageArray
command with the
profile
parameter. This example shows the
complete CLI command and script command:
c:\...\sm X \client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89

-c “show storageArray profile;”
This example identifies the storage array by the IP addresses
123.45.67.88
123.45.67.89
. These addresses are the IP addresses of the controllers in the
storage array. You also can identify the storage array by name.
The
show storageArray profile
command returns detailed information
about the storage array. 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:\...\sm X \client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89

-c “show storageArray profile;” -o

c:\folder\storagearrayprofile.txt
