lssi

The lssi command displays a list of storage images in a storage complex. You can use this command to look at the status of each storage image in the list. The storage image worldwide node name (WWNN) is displayed when this command is used. You must use the storage image WWNN with the lsavailpprcport and mkpprcpath commands.

Parameters

-s: (Optional) Displays storage image IDs. You cannot use the -l and the -s parameters together.
-l: (Optional) Displays the default output, ESSNet, volume group, and storage image description. You cannot use the -l and the -s parameters together.
-state online | offline | fenced: (Optional) Displays only the storage images in the specified state.
-su_id storage_unit_ID . . .: (Optional) Displays the storage images that are associated with the specified storage unit. A storage unit ID consists of manufacturer, machine type, and serial number.
storage_image_ID . . . | -: (Optional) Accepts fully qualified storage image IDs. A storage image ID consists of manufacturer, machine type, and serial number. You must separate multiple IDs with a space between each ID.
Note: You cannot specify ID ranges.; If you specify the dash (-), this parameter information is automatically supplied.

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 tables represents the headers that are displayed on the output report that is associated with the lssi command using the -l parameter. A separate example is not shown for the 1750 because the information is the same for the 2107 and 1750. There is a difference in the input values when you use the su_ID and storage_image_ID parameters.

Report field definitions

Name

Specifies the name that you assigned to the storage unit.

ID

Specifies the storage image ID that consists of the manufacture, machine type, and serial number.

Storage Unit

Specifies the storage unit ID that consists of the manufacture, machine type, and serial number.

Model

Specifies the model number that is associated with the storage unit.

WWNN

Specifies the worldwide node name that is assigned to the storage unit.

State

Specifies the status of the storage unit. One of the following values are displayed:

Online: Indicates that the storage unit is capable of processing all functions.
Offline: Indicates that the storage unit is offline and not capable of processing any functions.
Resuming: Indicates that the storage unit is in the process of coming online.
Quiescing: Indicates that the storage unit is in the process of going offline.
Quiesce Exception: Indicates that the storage unit is in the quiesce exception state.
Forced Quiescing: Indicates that the storage unit is in the process of performing a force offline operation.
Fenced: Indicates that the storage unit has failed and is offline.
Discovery: Indicates that the storage unit is determining which physical configurations are available and updates itself when it discovers new hardware. (1750 only)

ESSNet

Specifies that the storage-complex ESSNet user interface can invoke Copy Services operations to this storage image. Enabled or Disabled are the values that are displayed in this field.

Volume Group

Specifies the ESSNet Copy Services Volume Group ID or displays a null (-) in this field.

If ESSNet Copy Services operations are enabled, the value that is displayed in this field specifies the ESSNet Copy Services type volume group. This volume group contains the logical volumes that can be controlled by Copy Services operations that are initiated through the ESSNet.

If ESSNet Copy Services operations are enabled and the ESSNet Copy Services Volume Group ID is not specified (represented by the null (-) value in this field), all logical volumes are eligible to be controlled by Copy Services operations that are initiated through the ESSNet.

Desc

Specifies the value that you have assigned as a description for the storage unit.
