If you want to view the details or properties that are associated with your extent pools or if you want to view the performance metrics, issue the showextpool command.

Issue the lsextpool command to display the extent pool list and status information. Enter the lsextpool command at the dscli command line prompt with the following parameters and variables:

Notes:

Use the -l parameter if you want to see the list and status for all the extent pools (fixed block and CKD) in your storage unit. A full report is displayed.
Use the -s parameter if you just want to see only a list of the extent pools in your storage unit. No additional information is provided.
