viewDriveVPD CLI command

Edit online

Use the viewDriveVPD command to show vital product data (VPD) information for all drives in the library. This command is useful if an administrator or service engineer needs to see such information as a product model number, product release level, or other information specific to the device type.

Syntax

viewDriveVPD -ssl > <output-filename.csv>

Parameters

-ssl: Required if SSL (HTTPS) is enabled.
> <output-filename.csv>: (Optional.) Instead of sending the command output to your display, this option sends the output to a .csv (comma-separated variable) file that can be opened and saved in a spreadsheet. By default, the file is saved in the directory where the CLI jar file is stored. To save the file in a different directory, specify the path to that directory.
