showlss

The showlss command displays detailed properties of a logical subsystem (LSS).

Parameters

-dev storage_image_ID

(Optional) 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 LSS 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.

-sfstate

(Optional) Displays a table at the end of the command output that contains the name, ID, and soft fence state for each volume in the specified LSS.

-spidfstate

(Optional) Displays a table at the end of the command output that contains the name, ID, and SPID (Set Path Group ID) fence state for each volume in the specified LCU.

LSS_ID | -

(Required) Displays the properties for the specified logical subsystem. This parameter accepts a fully qualified LSS 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 two hexadecimal digits in the range 00 - FE.

The following example is a fully qualified LSS ID: IBM.2107-75FA120/10

The following example is a shortened version of the LSS ID when the -dev parameter is specified:

dscli> showlss -dev IBM.2107-75FA120 10

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.

Example: Displaying detailed properties of an LSS

dscli> showlss IBM.2107-75FA120/10

Output

ID	Group	Addrgrp	Stgtype	Confgvols
2107-75FA120/10	0	1	fb	256

Subsys	Pprcconsistgrp	Xtndlbztimout	resgrp
FF10	Disabled	60 secs	RG0

Output definitions

ID: The unique identifier that is assigned to this logical subsystem. It includes the storage image ID and the 2 digit LSS ID 00 - FE.
Group: The server that manages the logical subsystem. The displayed values are 0 or 1.
Addrgrp: The address group object that the logical subsystem is a member of.
Stgtype: The type of storage volumes contained by this logical subsystem. The value displayed is fb (fixed block) or ckd (count key data)
Confgvols: The number of volumes that are assigned to this logical subsystem.
Subsys: The user assigned, or default SSID value.
Pprcconsistgrp: The assigned PPRC consistency group state setting. If you do not designate enabled, the default value of disabled is assigned.
Xtndlbztimout: The assigned extended long busy timeout value. LSSs are created with an extended long busy timeout value of 60 seconds.
resgrp: The resource group ID that the LSS is assigned to. The resource group ID begins with the letters RG and ends with a decimal number.

Example 2

If you specify the -sfstate parameter, the output includes the soft fence state table.

Output definitions ( -`sfstate` parameter is specified)

Name

The user-assigned nickname for this volume object.

ID

The unique identifier that is assigned to this volume object. A volume ID is four hexadecimal characters (0x0000 - 0xFEFF).

sfstate

The soft fence state. The following values are possible.

Enabled: The host has set this volume to the soft fence state.
Disabled: The host has not set this volume to the soft fence state.
N/A: The host cannot set this volume to the soft fence state. For example, an alias volume.
