Determining a storage system name by using the CLI

You can determine a storage system name by using the command-line interface (CLI).

1. Enter the following CLI command to list the storage system:

   lscontroller
2. Record the name or identification for the storage system that you want to determine.
3. Enter the following CLI command, where controllername/identification is the name or identification that you recorded in step #svc_deteastoragecontrollercli_2iekdn/recordid.

   lscontroller controllername/identification

4. For FC and FCOE controllers, record the worldwide node name (WWNN) for the device. The WWNN can be used to determine the actual storage system. Use the WWNN to start the local user interface or use the command-line tools that it provides to verify the actual storage system that has this WWNN.
5. For iSCSI controllers, refer to the iscsi_port_id and ip fields in the output of lscontroller. Since the controller can have multiple Internet Protocol addresses (IP addresses), an iSCSI controller has multiple iscsi_port_id and ip listings. The ip field shows the IPv4/IPv6 address for the iSCSI controller and is blank for other controllers. The iscsi_port_id refers to a row ID in the output of lsiscsistorageport command. The lsiscsistorageportiscsi_port_id lists the IQN of the target iSCSI controller in the target_iscsiname output field. Use the IP addresses and IQN gathered to determine the actual storage system. Start the local user interface or use the command-line tools the storage system provides to verify the actual storage system that has the IP addresses and IQN found.
