lscptypes

Use the lscptypes command to display the session types and the storage systems that you can use with the session types.

Syntax

Parameters

-help | -h | -?

Lists help for the command. If you specify additional parameters and arguments, those parameters and arguments are ignored.

-s | -l

Displays the following information.

Column label	Details
Copy Type	The abbreviated name of the session type. For example, mgm is an abbreviation for Metro Global Mirror. The abbreviated session type name is used as a parameter value for the mksess command.
Full Name	The full name of the session type. For example, Metro Global Mirror.
Device Types	The storage systems that can be used with the session type. The values are: `DS8000`, `ESS`, `SAN Volume Controller`, `STORWIZE-V3700`, `STORWIZE-V3500`, `STORWIZE-V5000`, `STORWIZE-V7000`, `STORWIZE-V7000-Unified`, `FLASHSYSTEM V7200`, `FLASHSYSTEM V9000`, `FLASHSYSTEM-V840`, `FLASHSYSTEM-9100, FLASHSYSTEM-9200` and `XIV`.

-fmt { default | xml | delim | stanza }

Specifies the format of the output. You can specify one of these values:

default

Specifies that the output is displayed in tabular format using spaces as delimiters between columns. This is the default value.

xml

Specifies that the output is displayed in XML format.

delim

Specifies that output is displayed in a tabular format using commas as delimiters between columns.

To use a character other than a comma as the delimiter, specify -fmt delim -delim char , where char represents the character that you want to use as the delimiter. For example, if you want to use a colon (:) as the delimiter, use the following -fmt parameter:

-fmt delim -delim :

If you use a shell metacharacter as the delimiting character, enclose the character in quotation marks or single quotation marks. A blank space is not a valid character.

stanza

Specifies that the output is displayed as one keyword-value pair per line.

-p { on | off }

Specifies whether to display one page of text at a time or all text at once.

on: Displays one page of text at a time. Pressing any key displays the next page. This is the default value when the command is run in interactive mode.
off: Displays all text at once. This is the default value when the command is run in single-shot mode.

-hdr { on | off }

Specifies whether to display the table header. You can specify one of these values:

on: Displays the table header. This is the default value.
off: Hides the table header.

-r number

Specifies the number of rows per page to display when the -p parameter is specified. You can specify a value of 1 - 100. The default value is 22.

-v { on | off }

Specifies whether to enable verbose mode. You can specify one of these values:

on: Enables verbose mode.
off: Disables verbose mode. This is the default value.

-devtype { ds | ess | storwize-v3500 | storwize-v3700 | storwize-v5000 | storwize-v7000 | flashsystem-v9000 | flashsystem-v840 | svc | flashsystem-a9000 | flashsystem-9100| flashsystem-9200| xiv }

Specifies the session types that are available for specific storage system types. The parameter values are:

ds: IBM® DS8000®
ds8000: IBM DS8000
ess: IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server® Model 800
storwize-v3500: IBM Storwize® V3500
storwize-v3700: IBM Storwize V3700
storwize-v5000: IBM Storwize V5000
storwize-v7000: IBM Storwize V7000
storwize-v7000-unified: IBM Storwize V7000 Unified
flashsystem-v9000: IBM FlashSystem® V9000
flashsystem-v840: IBM FlashSystem V840
flashsystem-9100: IBM FlashSystem 9100
flashsystem-9200: IBM FlashSystem 9200
svc: IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller
xiv: FlashSystem/IBM Spectrum® Accelerate

Example: Listing all session types and storage systems

The following command lists all the session types that you can use.
