lsportusb

Use the lsportusb command to display information about Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports.

Syntax

lsportusb [ -nohdr ] [ -delim delimiter ] [ usb_port_id ]

Parameters

-nohdr: (Optional) By default, headings are displayed for each column of data in a concise style view, and for each item of data in a detailed style view. The -nohdr parameter suppresses the display of these headings.
Note: If there is no data to be displayed, headings are not displayed.
-delim delimiter: (Optional) By default in a concise view, all columns of data are space-separated. The width of each column is set to the maximum possible width of each item of data. In a detailed view, each item of data has its own row, and if the headers are displayed, the data is separated from the header by a space. The -delim parameter overrides this behavior. Valid input for the -delim parameter is a one-byte character. If you enter -delim : on the command line, the colon character (:) separates all items of data in a concise view; for example, the spacing of columns does not occur. In a detailed view, the data is separated from its header by the specified delimiter.
usb_port_id: (Optional) Specifies the USB port ID. Used when detailed information about a USB port is required.

Description

This command displays information about Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports.

Table 1 provides the attribute values that can be displayed as output view data.

Table 1. lsportusb output
Attribute	Possible Values
id	Indicates the unique ID of the USB port in the system. This is the `usb_port_id` shown in the syntax above. The value is a numeric `0` or greater.
node_id	Indicates the ID of the node where the USB port is. The value is a numeric string.
node_name	Indicates the name of the node where the USB port is. The value is an alphanumeric string.
node_side	Indicates the side of the node where the USB port is. The values are `front` and `rear`.
port_id	Indicates the ID of the USB port on the node side. The value is a numeric `1` or greater.
status	Indicates the status of the USB port. The values are: `active`, which indicates that a USB flash drive is plugged in and can be used by the system. `inactive`, which indicates that no USB flash drive is detected. `unsupported`, which indicates that a USB device is plugged in but cannot be used.
service_state	Indicates the USB command status. The values are: Blank indicates that no command is active. `running` indicates that satask.txt is processing, and default USB processing is ongoing. `complete` indicates that satask.txt is processing and default USB processing is complete. `install_image` indicates that satask.txt processing has not started because there is an installation image on the USB flash drive.
