Dell PowerVault MD3200 CLI Guide - Page 45

The show storageArray command returns the following general information about the components and properties of the storage array: • A detailed profile of the components and features in the storage array • The battery age • The default host type (which is the current host type) • Other available host types • The hot spare locations • The identifiers for enabled features • The logical and physical component profiles • The time to which both RAID controller modules are set • The RAID controller module that currently owns each virtual disk in the storage array To return the most information about the storage array, run the show storageArray command with the profile parameter. The following is an example of the complete CLI and script command running on Windows: client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "show storageArray profile;" This example identifies the storage array by the dummy IP address 123.45.67.89. You can also identify the storage array by name. The show storageArray profile command returns detailed information about the storage array. The information is presented in several screens on a display. You might need to increase the size of your display buffer to see all of the information. Because this information is so detailed, you might want to save the output to a file. To save the output to a file, enter the command as shown in the following example: client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "show storageArray profile;" -o c:\folder\storageArrayprofile.txt In this example, the name folder is the folder in which you choose to place the profile file, and storageArrayprofile.txt is the name of the file. You can choose any folder and any file name. Configuring a Storage Array 45
