The command nsAllShow shows information from all switches. Otherwise, text similar to the following example appears informing the user the number of name service entries that have been created with the title: The Local Name Server has n entries Type Pid COS PortName NodeName TTL(sec) Each subsequent line of output shows the value of each field as described in Table 4-12. There may be additional lines if the device has registered any of the following information (the switch will automatically register SCSI Inquiry data for FCP target devices): FC4s supported, IP address, IPA, port and node symbolic names. There are six major columns of information for each entry.
