show maps

Description

Shows information about mappings between volumes and initiators. If no parameter is specified, this command shows explicit mappings (but not default mappings) for all volumes.

In a dual-controller system, if a mapping uses corresponding ports on both controllers, such as A1 and B1, the Ports field will simply show 1.

Syntax

show maps

[all]

[initiator]

[IDs]

Parameters all

Optional. Shows mappings of all access types: read-write, read-only, no-access, and not-mapped (default mappings). If this parameter is omitted, mappings of type not-mapped are not shown.

initiator

Optional. Shows mapping information by initiator. If this parameter is omitted, mapping information is shown by volume.

IDs

Optional. A comma-separated list of the names or serial numbers of host-type items (initiators, hosts, and host groups) or volume-type items (volumes and volume groups) for which to show mappings. If a volume is mapped to a host group, to see mappings you must specify the host group, not a host or initiator in the group. If a volume is mapped to a host, to see mappings you must specify the host, not an initiator in the group.

You can specify:
  • A host by name in the format host-name.*, where * represents all initiators in the host. Example: FC-Server.*
  • A host group by name in the format host-group.*.*, where the first * represents all hosts in the group and the second * represents all initiators in those hosts. Example: TestLab.*.*
  • A volume group by name in the format volume-group.*, where * represents all volumes in the group. Example:TestVolumes.*
Do not include both host-type and volume-type items in a list. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes.
Output

Properties are described in alphabetical order.

Access
Type of host access to the volume:
  • read-write: Read and write.
  • read-only: Read only.
  • no-access: No access (masked).
  • not-mapped: Not mapped.
Group Name

For a volume group, its name in the format volume-group.*, where the * represents all volumes in the group.

ID

Shown by the initiator parameter. For an FC initiator, its WWPN. For a SAS initiator, its WWPN. For an iSCSI initiator, its node name (typically the IQN).

Host-Port-Identifier (v2)For an FC initiator, its WWPN. For a SAS initiator, its WWPN. For an iSCSI initiator, its node name (typically the IQN).
  • all other initiators: The volume's default mapping.

Identifier (v3)

See Host-Port-Identifier, above.

Initiator-Identifier
Shown for a volume group mapping.
  • For an FC initiator, its WWPN. For a SAS initiator, its WWPN. For an iSCSI initiator, its node name (typically the IQN).
  • all other initiators: The volume's default mapping.
LUN
  • The LUN that identifies the volume to a host.
  • For a volume group, * means multiple LUNs are represented in the group.
  • Blank if not mapped or mapped as no-access.
Name

The name of a volume or initiator.

Nickname
  • For a host, its name in the format host-name.*, where the * represents all initiators in the host.
  • For a host group, its name in the format host-group.*.*, where the first * represents all hosts in the host group and the second * represents all initiators in those hosts.
  • Blank if not set or for all other initiators/
Ports
  • The controller host ports to which the mapping applies.
  • Blank if not mapped or mapped as no-access.
Profile

Standard: Default profile.

Serial Number

The serial number of the volume group or volume.

Volume
  • For a volume, its name.
  • For a volume group, its name in the format volume-group.*, where the * represents all volumes in the group.
Examples Show mappings for all volumes.

# show maps

Show mapping information for all initiators.

# show maps initiator

Show mappings for volume group VGroup1 and ungrouped volume v1.

# show maps VGroup1.*,v1
