lssasfabric

Use the lssasfabric command to see which canisters are visible to a node, and the order of these canisters.

Syntax

lssasfabric [ -filtervalue attribute_value ] [ -nohdr ] [ -delim delimiter ] [ -filtervalue? ]

Parameters

-filtervalueattribute=value

(Optional) Specifies a list of one or more filters. Only objects with a value that matches the filter attribute value are displayed.

Note: Some filters allow the use of a wildcard when you enter the command. The following rules apply to the use of wildcards:

The wildcard character is the asterisk (*).
The command can contain a maximum of one wildcard.
When you use a wildcard, enclose the filter entry within double quotation marks (""): lssasfabric -filtervalue status

-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 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 1-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.

-filtervalue?

(Optional) Displays the valid filter attributes for the -filtervalue parameter:

enclosure_id
canister_id
canister_port_id
control_enclosure_id
node_canister_id
node_canister_port_id
position
IO_group_id
IO_group_name
node_id
node_name

Description

Use this command to see which canisters are visible to a node, and the order of these canisters. lssasfabric output describes possible outputs.

Table 1. lssasfabric output
Attribute	Description
enclosure_id	Indicates the identity of the enclosure the strand goes to.
canister_id	Indicates the canister in the enclosure that the strand goes to.
canister_port_id	Indicates the canister port that the strand goes to.
control_enclosure_id	Indicates the identity of the enclosure that the strand comes from.
node_canister_id	Indicates the identity of the canister the strand comes from.
node_canister_port_id	Indicates the node canister port that the strand is from. This must be the same as the chain ID.
position	Indicates the position in the strand or chain.
IO_group_id	Indicates the I/O group that the strand belongs to. This must be the same as the enclosure IO group.
IO_group_name	Indicates the I/O group the strand belongs to. This must be the same as the enclosure IO group.
node_id	Indicates the identity of the node that the strand is from. This is the same physical object as the node_canister
node_name	The name of the node that the strand is from. This is the same physical object as the node_canister.

An invocation example with three enclosures

Enclosure 1 is the control enclosure. Enclosure 2 is on chain 1 (node canister port 1) using canister port 1 as its connector. Enclosure 3 is on chain 2 (node canister port 2) using canister port 2 as its connector.

Note: In this guide, the following output is split into two parts. This is for illustrative purposes; the output does not appear in two parts when you run this command.

This is the first part of the resulting output:

enclosure_id  canister_id  canister_port_id  control_enclosure_id   node_canister_id  
           1            1                 1                     1                  1
           1            2                 1                     1                  2

This is the second part of the resulting output:

An invocation example with two enclosures

This example shows the output when you use this command for a pair of expansion enclosures that are wired correctly to a set of nodes.
