Use the lsmdiskgrp command to display a concise list or a detailed
view of storage pools that are visible to the clustered system
(system).
Syntax
lsmdiskgrp [ -filtervalue attribute=value ] [ -nohdr ] [ -bytes ] [ -delim delimiter ] [ -filtervalue? ] [ { object_id | object_name } ]
Parameters
- -filtervalueattribute=value
- (Optional) Specifies a list of one or more filters. Only objects with a
value that matches the filter attribute value are returned. If a capacity is
specified, the units must also be included.
Note: Some filters allow the use of a wildcard when you enter the command.
The following rules apply to the use of wildcards when you use the
command-line interface (CLI):
- -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 no data is available to be displayed, headings are
not displayed.
- -bytes
- (Optional) Specifies that you want the report to display all capacities as
bytes.
- -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.
- object_id | object_name
- (Optional) Specifies the name or ID of an object. When you use this
parameter, the detailed view of the specific object is returned and any
value that is specified by the -filtervalue parameter
is ignored. If you do not specify the object_id | object_name
parameter, the concise view of all objects that maTCH the
filtering requirements that are specified by the
-filtervalue parameter are displayed.
- -filtervalue?
- (Optional) Displays a list of valid filter attributes. The valid filters for
the lsmdiskgrp command are the following values:
- name
- id
- mdisk_count
- vdisk_count
- status
- storage_pool_id
- easy_tier
- easy_tier_status
- site_id
- site_name
- parent_mdisk_grp_id
- parent_mdisk_grp_name
- child_mdisk_grp_count
- type
- encrypt
- owner_type
- data_reduction
For more information about
filtering attributes, see Attributes of the -filtervalue parameters.
Description
This command
returns a concise list or a detailed view of storage pools visible to the
system.
Command output includes values for the following attributes:
- status
- The state of the MDisk with the highest-priority status in the group,
excluding image mode MDisks.
- VDisk_count
- The number of volume copies that are in the
storage pool.
- capacity
- The total amount of MDisk storage that is assigned to the storage
pool.
- extent_size
- The sizes of the extents for this group are the following values: 16,
32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, or 8192 (MB).
- free_capacity
- The amount of MDisk storage that is assigned to the storage pool that is
unused. MDisk storage can be used for system quorum data and
volumes.
- real_capacity
- The amount of MDisk storage that is assigned to the storage pool that is
assigned to volumes.
- virtual_capacity
- The total virtual size of all the volume copies that are associated with
the storage pool. This size is the same as the
real_capacity value unless you configure
thin-provisioned volume copies in this storage pool.
- used_capacity
- The total used size of all the volume copies that are associated with
the storage pool. This size is the same as the
real_capacity value unless you configure
thin-provisioned volume copies in this storage pool.
- overallocation
- Expressed as a percentage, the ratio of the
virtual_capacity value to the capacity. A storage
pool overallocation of over 100 is only possible if you configure
thin-provisioned volume copies.
- warning
- This field is a percentage. A warning is generated when the amount of
space in the storage pool that is assigned exceeds this level.
- easy_tier
- This value is set by the user and determines whether Easy Tier is permitted to manage the
pool.
Note: The values are:
- on indicates that Easy Tier actively
manages the extents (including single-tier storage pools),
and the Easy Tier
status must be active - unless a license is
required.
- off indicates that Easy Tier does not
actively manage the extents, and the Easy Tier status must be
inactive .
- auto indicates that the value of Easy Tier status
is determined by the number of tiers in a storage pool.
Note: The following values apply to
auto:
- on if Easy Tier is licensed
or no license is required.
- off if Easy Tier requires a
license and none exists.
- measure indicates that Easy Tier s collects
statistics on that storage pool but does not move any
extents in the storage pool.
- easy_tier_status
- This field indicates whether the Easy Tier functions are active on a storage pool.
- active indicates that a pool is being managed
by Easy Tier to
provide tier management performance-based pool balancing (for
example, extents can be moved).
- inactive indicates that Easy Tier is inactive.
- measured indicates that Easy Tier statistics
are being collected
but no Easy Tier
management is detected.
- balanced indicates that a pool is being managed
by Easy Tier to
provide performance-based pool balancing (for example, extents
can be moved).
The following table describes the storage pool Easy Tier settings.
If the volume copy is in image or
sequential mode or is being migrated, the volume copy Easy Tier status is
measured instead of
active.
The
default Easy Tier
setting for a storage pool is auto, and
the default Easy Tier
setting for a volume copy is on. Thus,
Easy Tier functions
except pool performance balancing are disabled for storage pools
with a single tier, and that automatic data placement mode is
enabled for all striped volume copies in a storage pool with two or
more tiers.
- tier
- Indicates which tier information is being reported.
- tier
- Indicates which tier information is being reported. The values are:
- tier0_flash
- tier1_flash
- tier_enterprise
- tier_nearline
- tier_mdisk_count
- Indicates the number of MDisks in the tier.
- tier_capacity
- Indicates the total MDisk capacity that is assigned to the volume in the
tier.
Note: For thin-provisioned copies, the capacity by tier is the
real capacity.
- tier_free_capacity
- Indicates the unused amount of MDisk storage in the tier.
- compression_active
- Indicates whether any compressed volume copies are in the storage pool.
This field is blank for storage
pools that are data reduction pools.

- Indicates the site value for the storage pool group. This numeric value
is 1, 2, 3, or
blank.
- site_name
- Indicates the site name for the storage pool. This value is an

encrypted or not encrypted. The values are:
- yes if the pool has an encryption key.
- yes if the pool does not have an encryption key
(and the pool contains MDisks and all are encrypted).
- no if the pool does not have an encryption key
(and the pool contains MDisks and at least one is not
encrypted).
- Blank if the pool does not have an encryption key (and the pool
has no MDisks).
The following define the status fields, from lowest to highest priority:
- Online
- Indicates that the storage pool is online and available.

- Indicates the total amount of data that was written to thin-provisioned
and compressed volume copies in the storage pool before data reduction
occurs. This value does not include fully allocated volumes (that can be
created in a data reduction pool) because they are not eligible for
reduction. This field is blank for storage pools that are not data
reduction pools.
