lsvol

Use the lsvol command to display volume information and status. This information can assist you in choosing available volumes for groups and pools, and determine which volumes are in a suspend or error state. The same volume can reside in multiple groups, but not multiple pools.

To create ESS logical unit numbers (LUN) and create Virtual logical unit numbers, you must use ICAT interfaces.

Parameters

-s
An optional parameter that displays only volumes.
-l
An optional parameter that displays all valid output for lsvol command.
-devtype ess
An optional parameter that allows a filter by device type. Specify ess for Enterprise Storage Server (ESS).
-dev dev_ id
An optional parameter that displays the nickname or model, serial number, and manufacturer.
volume_id [...] | -
Specifies the volume ID for a volume. Volume data is listed for this volume. The same volume can reside in multiple groups but not multiple pools. Alternatively, use the dash (-) to specify that input for this parameter comes from an input stream (stdin).
