/SHOW-SYMMETRIX-CONFIGURATION
provides information on the configuration of the Symmetrix/VMAX3 storage systems.

The command supports structured output to S variables (for further information, see the manual “Commands” [1]).

SHOW-SYMMETRIX-CONFIGURATION

UNIT =  *BY-SYMMETRIX(...) / *ALL


*BY-SYMMETRIX(...)



|

SERIAL-NUMBER = <alphanum-name 3..12>

,INFORMATION = *STD / *DIRECTORS / *LOCKS / *ALL / *REMOTE-LINK-DIRECTORS / *SAVE-POOLS / *THIN-POOLS

,REMOTE-CONFIGURATION = *NO / *YES

,UPDATE = *STD / *NO / *DISCOVER


UNIT =

Selects units by means of the serial number of the storage system (*BY-SYMMETRIX) or selection of all Symmetrix systems (*ALL).
At least one unit must be attached per emulated controller.

UNIT = *BY-SYMMETRIX(...)
Selects the units by means of the serial number of the storage system.

SERIAL-NUMBER = <alphanum-name 3..12>
Specifies the serial number of the storage system (make sure it is unique!).

UNIT = *ALL
Output for all systems known to the host.


INFORMATION =

Determines the output volume, see the examples for the command.

INFORMATION = *STD
Outputs global information.

INFORMATION = *DIRECTORS
Outputs information on the directors and ports.

INFORMATION = *LOCKS
Outputs the global Symmetrix locks and associated RA groups. The INFORMATION=*LOCKS operand is supported only in combination with UNIT=*BY-SYMMETRIX(SERIAL-NUMBER=<alphanum-name 3..12>).

INFORMATION = *ALL
Outputs all information specified for *STD and *DIRECTORS.

INFORMATION = *REMOTE-LINK-DIRECTORS
Outputs information on the remote link directors. Information on all connected remote storage systems is output for each remote link director. This information is particularly important for supporting switched SRDF configurations in which several remote storage systems can be connected via a remote link director using several RA groups.

INFORMATION = *SAVE-POOLS
When TimeFinder/Snap (Symmetrix) is used, information about the save pools is output. VMAX3 has no save pools.

INFORMATION = *THIN-POOLS
When virtual provisioning is used, information on the thin pools is output.


REMOTE-CONFIGURATION =

Specifies whether information is output only for local or also for remote storage systems.

REMOTE-CONFIGURATION = *NO
The information is output only for local storage systems which can be reached directly.

REMOTE-CONFIGURATION =*YES
The information is output for local storage systems which can be reached directly and storage systems which can be reached over remote connections.


UPDATE =

Controls updating of the configuration data provided.

UPDATE = *STD
The configuration data is updated in SHC-OSD before the SHOW command is executed.

UPDATE = *NO
The SHOW command is executed without the configuration data being updated in SHC-OSD.

UPDATE = *DISCOVER
Before the SHOW command is executed, the configuration data of the storage system and in SHC-OSD is updated. This enables you to recognize that it is available again after a crash and configuration changes to the storage system.
