Viewing properties for one rank

Complete this task to view the detailed properties of one rank that is associated with a storage unit using DS CLI commands.

A rank is a logically contiguous storage space that is made up of one array. After you have created your ranks, there might be times when you want to view the status of an individual rank.

Perform the following steps to view the status of a rank that is associated with the storage unit.

Issue the showrank command to generate the properties report for the specified rank. Enter the showrank command at the dscli command prompt with the following parameters and variables:

dscli>showrank -dev storage_image_ID rank_ID

Notes:

Because the showrank command requires the use of a specific rank ID, you can issue the lsrank command first to obtain the specific rank IDs.
The state and datastate column information for the ranks contains reported conditions that can require further action. See the showrank command for an explanation of the action designations.
