Description

This command returns a list of unconfigured, logged in SAS ports.

Note: The lssasportcandidate command presents a list of host SAS ports that are logged in to nodes. However, there are situations when the list might include host SAS ports that are no longer logged in or even part of the SAN fabric. For example, if a host SAS port is unplugged from a switch but lssasportcandidate shows the WWPN that is logged in to all nodes, the incorrect entry is removed when another device is plugged in to the same switch port that previously contained the removed host SAS port.
This table shows the possible output:
