lssp Command

Purpose

Lists and displays information about storage pools.

Syntax

List all available storage pools

lssp [-field Fieldname ] [ -fmt Delimiter ]

Display information about a specific storage pool

lssp -detail | -bd [-sp StoragePool] [-field Fieldname ] [ -fmt Delimiter ]

Display the default storage pool

lssp -default

Description

The lssp command displays information about storage pools in the Virtual I/O Server. If no flags are specified, a list of all defined storage pools, their total size, free space, minimum allocation size, and number of backing devices contained in the pool is displayed. If the -detail flag is specified, detailed information about the storage pool is displayed. If the -bd flag is specified, a list of all the backing devices in the specified (or default) storage pool is displayed along with their size and associated virtual target device, or None, and virtual host adapter, or None. If the -default flag is specified, the default storage pool is displayed.

This command will provide full scripting support through the use of the -field and -fmt flags.

If the storage pool specified is not prefixed with sp_, the lssp command will automatically add it. If rootvg is specified, no prefix is added.
