Example

For this command and all other DS CLI list commands, the results are shown in table format to provide clarity. The actual reports do not display as tables.

The following table represents the headers that are displayed on the output report that is associated with the lshosttype command. A separate example is not shown for the 1750 because the information is the same for both the 2107 and 1750.

Invoking the lshosttype command

dscli>lshosttype -l -type
