showarraysite

The showarraysite command displays detailed properties of a specific storage image array site.

Parameters

-dev storage_image_ID: (Optional) Displays the storage image ID, which consists of manufacturer, machine type, and serial number. The storage image ID is required if you do not specify a fully qualified site ID, do not set the devid variable in your profile or through the setenv command, and the HMC is aware of more than one storage image. Using the -dev parameter will temporarily override any defined value for devid for the current command.
site_ID | -: (Required) Displays information for the designated array site ID. This parameter also accepts a fully qualified site ID, which consists of the storage image ID or a shortened version without the storage image ID, if the -dev parameter is specified. The shortened version is a four-digit decimal number with no leading zeros, prefixed by the letter S. The array site ID does not imply a physical location.; If you use the dash (-), the specified value is read from standard input. You cannot use the dash (-) while you are in the DS CLI interactive command mode.

Output definitions

Arsite

The array site ID. The array site ID is a decimal number up to four digits in length, no leading zeros, prefixed by the letter S. For example, S11.

Notes:

Array sites consist of eight DDMs.
The array site ID does not imply a physical location.

DA pair

The DA pair ID. DA pairs are located in I/O enclosure pairs. DA pair ID implies the I/O enclosure location.

Note: DA Adapters are installed in slot 3 in one enclosure and slot 6 in the peer enclosure. The DA pair ID identifies the enclosure that contains the DA Adapter in slot 3. For example, a DA adapter is installed in slot of 3 of enclosure 2. Its peer is installed in slot 6 of enclosure 3. In this case, the DA Pair ID is 2.

Dkcap (10^9B)

The minimum disk capacity of the disks in the designated array site.

Diskrpm

The minimum disk rpm of the disks in the designated array site.

State

The array site state. The values that can be displayed in this field are as follows:

assigned: The designated array site is defined as an array.
unassigned: The array site is available to be defined as an array.

Array

The array ID that the designated array site is assigned to. The ID is prefixed by the letter A.

Dkinf

The DDM interface type for the disks in this array site. The following value is displayed:

FC-AL (Fibre Channel arbitrated loop)
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)

Dkrate

The minimum disk interface rate of the disks in the designated array site.

DDMSN

The list of DDM serial numbers (SN) that are associated with the designated array site. Each DDM SN is a 16-character string. Each serial number is separated by a comma.

Spares

The number of spare DDMs that are allocated from the array site.

DataDDM

The number of data DDMs. This value is based on the number of DDMs minus the number of spares.

Diskclass

The disk class. One of the following values is displayed:

ENT: Enterprise; A high-speed Fibre Channel disk drive.
NL: Near-line; ATA (FATA) disk drives.
SATA: High-capacity SATA disk drives.
SSD: Solid-state devices.
FlashTier0: High performance flash (Flash Tier 0) drives.
FlashTier1: The first tier of high capacity flash (Flash Tier 1) drives.
FlashTier2: The second tier of high capacity flash (Flash Tier 2) drives.

encrypt

The encryption support capability. One of the following values are displayed:

supported: The disk drive modules in this array site are capable of encryption.
unsupported: The disk drive modules in this array site are not capable of encryption.
