The showsi command displays detailed properties of a storage image. 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
- storage_image_ID | -
- (Required) Specifies the storage image ID. A storage image ID consists of a manufacturer, machine type, and serial number.
Example
For this command and all other DS CLI show 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 showsi command. A separate example is not shown for the 1750 because the information is the same for both the 2107 and 1750. The report displays the iSeries serial number for a 1750 machine type.

Report field definitions
- Name
- Specifies the name that you assigned to the storage unit.
- Desc
- Specifies the value that you have assigned as a description for 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.
- Signature
- Specifies the machine signature that is represented by 12 hexadecimal digits in the format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx.
- 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 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.
- OS400Serial (1750 only)
- Specifies null (-) for a 2107 model type and the iSeries serial number
for a 1750 model type.
The serial number consists of 3 hexadecimal characters. It is used to uniquely identify LUNs within a customer's storage complex. It is appended to the unitSerialNumber that is returned by a SCSI inquiry command directed to each LUN.
- NVS Memory
- Specifies the amount in gigabytes of nonvolatile storage (NVS) memory configured on the storage unit.
- Cache Memory
- Specifies the amount in gigabytes of cache memory configured on the storage unit.
- Processor Memory
- Specifies the amount in gigabytes of processor memory configured on the storage unit.
