storage path show

Display a list of paths to attached arrays.

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

The storage path show command displays path based statistics. The default command shows:

  • Node name

  • Initiator port

  • Target port

  • Target IQN

  • TPGN

  • Port speeds

  • Path I/O in Kbytes/sec

  • IOPs

Parameters

{ [-fields <fieldname>, ...]
If you specify the -fields <fieldname>, ... parameter, the command output also includes the specified field or fields. You can use '-fields ?' to display the fields to specify.
| [-array ]
Using this option displays:
  • Array name

  • Target port

  • Target IQN

  • Target I/O in Kbytes/sec

  • Target side switch port

  • Path I/O in Kbytes/sec

  • Initiator side switch port

  • Initiator I/O in Kbytes/sec

  • Initiator port

| [-by-target ]
Using this option displays the same information as the array option, but grouped by target port.
| [-detail ]
Using this option displays the same information as the array and by-target options, but adds the following:
  • Target IOPs

  • Target LUNs

  • Path IOPs

  • Path errors

  • Path quality

  • Path LUNs

  • Initiator IOPs

  • Initiator LUNs

| [-switch ]
Using this option adds switch port information to the default display.
| [-instance ]}
If you specify the -instance parameter, the command displays detailed information about all fields.
[-node {<nodename>|local}] - Controller name
The name of the clustered node for which information is being displayed.
[-array-name <array name>] - Array Name
Name of the storage array that is connected to the cluster.
[-target-wwpn <text>] - Target Port
Target World Wide Port Name. Port on the storage array that is being used.
[-initiator <text>] - Initiator Port
Initiator port that the clustered node uses.
[-initiator-side-switch-port <text>] - Initiator Side Switch Port
Switch port connected to the clustered node.
[-tpgn <integer>] - Target Port Group Number
TPGN refers to the target port group to which the target port belongs. A target port group is a set of target ports which share the same LUN access characteristics and failover behaviors.
[-port-speed <text>] - Port Speed
Port Speed of the specified port.
[-path-io-kbps <integer>] - Kbytes of I/O per second on Path (Rolling Average)
Rolling average of I/O per second on the path.
[-path-iops <integer>] - Number of IOPS on Path (Rolling Average)
Rolling average of Kbytes of I/O per second on the path
[-initiator-io-kbps <integer>] - Kbytes of I/O per second on Initiator (Rolling Average)
Rolling average of I/O per second on the initiator port.
[-initiator-iops <integer>] - Number of IOPS on Initiator (Rolling Average)
Rolling average of Kbytes of I/O per second on the initiator port.
[-target-io-kbps <integer>] - Kbytes of I/O per second to Target (Rolling Average)
Rolling average of I/O per second on the target port.
[-target-iops <integer>] - Number of IOPS to Target (Rolling Average)
Rolling average of Kbytes of I/O per second on the target port.
[-target-side-switch-port <text>] - Target Side Switch Port
Switch port connected to the array.
[-path-link-errors <integer>] - Link Error count on path
Fibre Channel link error count.
[-path-quality <integer>] - Percentage of weighted error threshold
A number representing the threshold of errors that is allowed on the path. Path quality is a weighted error value. When the error weight of a path exceeds the threshold, I/O is routed to a different path.
[-path-lun-in-use-count <integer>] - Number of LUNs in the in-use state on this path
Number of LUNs on this path.
[-initiator-lun-in-use-count <integer>] - Number of LUNs in the in-use state on this initiator
Number of LUNs on this initiator.
[-target-lun-in-use-count <integer>] - Number of LUNs in the in-use state on this target
Number of LUNs on this target.
[-vmdisk-device-id <integer>] - Virtual disk device ID
Common device identifier, shared by a VM and its hypervisor, of a virtual disk. On ESX servers, this is the Disk ID component of a virtual device node, with a value of 0 to 15.
[-path-failure-threshold <integer>] - Max number of path failures acceptable in wait-duration
The path failure count, exceeding this value within wait duration will quiesce the path.
[-wait-duration <integer>] - Wait Duration in minutes
The time duration(minutes) in which path is monitored for path failures.
