                 Format:
                         SHOW <parameter>

1  –  CONNECTIONS

                 SHOW CONNECTIONS displays the World Wide Names of each
                 Host Bus Adapter (HBA) attached to the controller. If
                 connections between the HBAs and the MSA have been given
                 user-defined names, these names are also displayed.

                 Note:
                      - The SHOW CONNECTIONS command is applicable only for
                        MSA and not Smart Array controllers.

                      - Use the SHOW CONNECTIONS command to verify that all
                        connections to the MSA are recognized and defined.

                      - Use the SHOW CONNECTIONS command to display information
                        about each HBA connected to the MSA, including
                        connection name, WWPN, and profile.

                          SHOW CONNECTIONS / <Qualifiers>

1.1  –  Parameters

                     None

1.2  –  Qualifiers

1.2.1    /Verbose

                      Provides logging that can be interpreted by engineering.

1.3  –  Examples

                      MSA> SHOW CONNECTIONS

                      Command options
                      CONNECTION NAME-the name of a specific connection to
                      display.

                      Example MSA$UTIL response:
                      Connection Name: abc
                      Host WWNN = 50060b00-001d25b5
                      Host WWPN = 50060b00-001d25b4

                      Controller 2 Port 1 Status = Online

2  –  CONTROLLER

                 SHOW CONTROLLER displays the specified controller's
                 information if the controller name is provided. If
                 the controller name is not provided, then information
                 of all the connected controllers is displayed.

                 The SHOW CONTROLLER command is synonymous to the
                 SHOW ADAPTER command.

                 Note: If the context is set to a specific controller
                       and the controller name is not provided, then
                       SHOW CONTROLLER displays information pertaining
                       only to the controller to which the context is
                       set.

                 Format:
                         SHOW CONTROLLER (Controller_name:) / <qualifiers>

                 Displays the firmware version of the controller along
                 with the default information for the controller.

2.2.7    /SUBSYSTEM

                 Displays the Subsystem ID of the controller.

2.2.8    /VERBOSE

                 Provides logging that can be interpreted by engineering.

4  –  DISKS

                      SHOW DISKS displays the following information on
                      all available physical disks:

                      - Disk size

                      - UNIT created on the disk

                      - Disks assigned as spares

                      Note:
                            - SHOW DISK <disk_n> can be used to see
                              information of a particular disk,
                              where disk_n is the disk number. Disks
                              are identified by their corresponding
                              SCSI bus and SCSI IDs for all the controllers.
                              For SAS controllers, internally connected
                              disks are numbered based on their bay numbers
                              and externally connected disks are numbered
                              based on combination of their box number
                              and bay number as
                              "disk_n" = box Number *100 + bay number".

                              Examples

                      SHOW UNITS:

                      SHOW UNITS displays information of all the logical
                      volumes configured on the controller. This command
                      does not take the parameter unit_n.

                      Note: From the CLI of MSA1000/MSA1500 controllers,
                            if ACLs are enabled for the UNITs with respect
                            to the connections (HBAs to which these
                            controllers are connected), then only those
                            corresponding UNITs will be visible to the
                            respective HBAs.

                            After the ACLs are enabled, if the user creates
                            any UNITs on these controllers (either from CLI
                            or MSA_UTIL), then the user will have to set the
                            ACLs explicitly for these UNITs to be visible.
