If no flags are specified, a list of all defined storage pools, their total size, free space, minimum allocation size, and number of backing devices contained in the pool and the type of pool is displayed. If the -type flag is specified only storage pools of the indicated type are displayed. If the -detail flag is specified, detailed information about the storage pool is displayed. If the -bd flag is specified, a list of all the backing devices in the specified (or default) storage pool is displayed along with their size and associated virtual target device, or None, and virtual host adapter, or None. If the -default flag is specified, the default storage pool is displayed.

This command will provide full scripting support through the use of the -field and -fmt flags.

```

To display detailed information about the logical volume storage pool sp_sp00, type:

lssp -detail -sp sp_sp00

The system will display output similar to the following:

NAME            PVID                                SIZE(megabytes)

To display information about the backing devices in the logical volume storage pool rootvg, type:

lssp -bd -sp rootvg

The system displays output similar to the following:

NAME            SIZE(megabytes) VTD             SVSA
