Dell PowerVault MD 32XX/36XX Series Storage Arrays CLI Guide

Using the show virtualDiskCopy command, you can view information about one or more selected source virtual disks or target virtual disks. This command returns the following information:

• The virtual disk role (target or source)
• The copy status
• The start timestamp
• The completion timestamp
• The virtual disk copy priority
• The read-only attribute setting for the target virtual disk
• The source virtual disk World Wide Identifier (WWID) or the target virtual disk WWID

A virtual disk can be a source virtual disk for one virtual disk copy and a target virtual disk for another virtual disk copy. If a virtual disk participates in more than one virtual disk copy, the details are repeated for each associated copy pair.

The following syntax is the general form of the command:

show virtualDiskCopy (allVirtualDisks | source
                                    [sourceName] | target [targetName])
                                 

The following example shows a command that returns information about a virtual disk used for a virtual disk copy:

client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "show virtualDiskCopy
                                    source [\"Jaba_Hut\"];"
                                 

The command in the preceding example requests information about the source virtual disk Jaba_Hut. If you want information about all virtual disks, use the allVirtualDisks parameter. You can also request information about a specific target virtual disk.

The following example is the script file version of the command:

show virtualDiskCopy source ["Jaba_Hut"];
