  omreport storage Commands


Use the omreport storage command to view information about enclosures, volumes, arrays, and disks that are part of your storage system.


Conventions for Parameter Tables

When listing the parameters that a command can take, the parameters are listed in alphabetical order instead of the order in which they appear in the command line interface.

The symbol |, often called pipe, is the logical exclusive or operator. For example, enable | disable means that you can enable or disable the component or feature, but you cannot simultaneously enable and disable the component or feature.


omreport storage Command Summary

NOTE: Although this section lists all possible omreport storage commands, the commands available on your system depend on your system configuration. The results that display for the omreport storage command vary from one system to another. Data displays for installed components only.

Table 5-1 is a high-level summary of the omreport storage command. The column titled "Command level 1" shows the omreport command at its most general. "Command level 2" shows the major objects or components that you can view using omreport storage. "Command level 3" lists the specific storage objects and components for which you can view reports. "User privilege required" refers to the type of privilege you need to perform the command, where U=User, P=Power User, and A=Administrator. "Use" is a very general statement about the actions that can be performed using omreport storage. More details about syntax and use of the command appear later in this section.

omreport storage arraydisks

Use the omreport storage arraydisks controller=ID command (where ID is the ID number for the controller that controls the disks in the array) to view information for all enclosures and disks attached to a specific RAID controller. For example, if the controller's ID is "447244640307," enter the following command to see all enclosures and disks attached to that controller:

omreport storage arraydisks controller=47244640307

The report includes the following information for each enclosure in the array:

The report includes the following information for each physical disk in the array:

If you want to see all disks that comprise a virtual disk, use the virtual disk ID in the command. For example, to see all disks that make up a virtual disk with the ID of "47244640361," type the following command:

omreport storage arraydisks vdisk=47244640361

NOTE: You can find virtual disk and controller IDs by running the omreport storage arrays command, which shows the properties for all of the controllers in the system.

omreport storage arrays

Use the omreport storage arrays command to view detailed information about the disk controller and the storage subsystems attached to the controller. The following information is provided about the controller:

For each controller, you can view the following information about the virtual disks controlled by the controller:

The direct I/O and cache I/O cache policies apply to reads on a specific logical drive. These settings do not affect the read-ahead policy. The cache I/O and direct I/O cache policies are as follows:

omreport storage enclosureinfo

Use the omreport storage enclosureinfo enclosure=ID command (where ID is the ID number for the enclosure) to view information about a single enclosure. For example, if the enclosure's ID is "447244640512," enter the following command to see detailed information for that enclosure:

omreport storage enclosureinfo enclosure=47244640512

NOTE: You can find an enclosure ID by running the omreport storage enclosures command, which shows the properties for all of the enclosures in the system.

The following information displays for the enclosure:

omreport storage enclosures

Use the omreport storage enclosures command to view the enclosures that contain array disks for a particular controller. The following information displays for each enclosure on the controller:

omreport storage osdiskinfo

Use the omreport storage osdiskinfo osdisk=ID command (where ID is the ID number for the operating system disk) to view detailed information for the operating system disks. For example, if the operating system disk's ID is "447244640714," enter the following command to see the disks that comprise the operating system disk:

omreport storage osdiskinfo osdisk=447244640714

NOTE: You can find the ID by using the omreport storage osdisks command, which provides information for all operating system disks.

The osdiskinfo command provides information, as applicable, about the volumes, virtual disks, and array disks that make up an operating system disk.

osdiskinfo provides the following information about the volumes that contain operating system disks:

The osdiskinfo command provides the following information about the virtual disk(s) that comprise the operating system disk:

The direct I/O and cache I/O cache policies apply to reads on a specific logical drive. These settings do not affect the read-ahead policy. The Cache I/O and Direct I/O cache policies are as follows:

The omreport storage osdiskinfo command provides the following information about the physical array disks that comprise the operating system disk:

omreport storage osdisks

Use the omreport storage osdisks command to view information about all of your operating system disks. The following information displays for each disk that contains operating system files:

You can view operating system disk information for a volume by entering the volume ID as part of the parameter. For example:

omreport storage osdisks volume=60129542154

You obtain a volume's ID by running the omreport storage volumes command. See "omreport storage volumes" for more information.

omreport storage volumes

Use the omreport storage volumes command to view information about the volumes on your storage system. The following information displays for each volume:
