Using the Command Line Interface
Displaying Array Information
The CLI enables you to display and manage the attributes
(characteristics) of arrays using the following commands:
container list
Array Attribute:
Indicates:
drive letter
Letter associated with an array. Not
automatically assigned when you create an
array.
root special file
UNIX/Linux root special file associated
with the array and created by the operating
system after array creation. Appears in the
Num Label
column.
array number
ID of an array (number from 0 to 63).
array label
Name assigned to an array. Not
automatically assigned. Appears in the
Num Label
column.
array type
Whether an array is a volume, RAID 0,
RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, RAID 50, or a
reconfigured array.
creation date
Month, day, and year the array was created.
creation time
Hour, minute, and second the array was
created.
total size
Number of bytes in an array. The size of an
array is the size of the available space when
the array was created, reconfigured, or
extended.
stripe size
Number of bytes in a stripe (amount of data
written to a segment before the I/O data
stream switches to the next segment/array).
read only
Whether an array is read-only accessible.
An array can be set to read-only if not in use
by an application.
read/write
Whether an array is read-write accessible.
lock
Whether an array is locked into volatile
memory space on the currently open
controller. Typically, you lock and unlock
arrays only under the direction of technical
support.
