show ports


Description	Shows information about host ports in each controller.
Minimum role	monitor
Syntax	show ports [detail]
Parmeters	detail Optional. This parameter shows additional detail about the port status, including SFP information.
Output	Ports Controller ID and port number Media FC(P): Fibre Channel Point-to-Point FC(L): Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (public or private) FC(-): Not applicable, as when the port is disconnected SAS: Serial Attached SCSI iSCSI: Internet SCSI Target ID For an FC port, its WWPN. For a SAS port, its WWPN. For an iSCSI port, its node name (typically the IQN). Status Up: The port is cabled and has an I/O link. Warning: Not all of the port’s PHYs are up. Error: The port is reporting an error condition. Not Present: The controller module is not installed or is down. Disconnected: Either no I/O link is detected or the port is not cabled. Speed(A) Actual link speed in Gbit/s. Blank if not applicable. Speed(C) Configured host-port link speed in Gbit/s. Not shown for SAS. FC: Auto, 16Gb, 8Gb, or 4Gb iSCSI: Auto Blank if not applicable Health OK Degraded Fault N/A Unknown Reason If Health is not OK, this field shows the reason for the health state. Action If Health is not OK, this field shows recommended actions to take to resolve the health issue. Topo (C) FC and SAS only. Configured topology. Lanes Expected SAS only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the expected number of PHY lanes in the SAS port. Active Lanes SAS only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the number of active lanes in the SAS port. If the port is connected and fewer lanes are active than are expected, the port status will change to Warning, the health will change to Degraded, and event 354 will be logged. Disabled Lanes SAS only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the number of disabled lanes in the SAS port. PID FC only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field is shown. If the port is using loop topology and the port status is Up, this field shows the primary loop ID. If the port is not using loop topology or the port status is not Up, this field shows N/A. IP Version iSCSI only. IPv4 or IPv6. IP Address iSCSI only. Assigned port IP address. Gateway iSCSI only. For IPv4, gateway IP address for assigned IP address. Netmask iSCSI only. For IPv4, subnet mask for assigned IP address. Default Router iSCSI only. For IPv6, default router for assigned IP address. Link-Local Address iSCSI only. For IPv6, the link-local address that is automatically generated from the MAC address and assigned to the port. MAC iSCSI only. Unique Media Access Control (MAC) hardware address, also called the physical address. SFP Status If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the SFP status: OK Not present: No SFP is inserted in this port. Not compatible: The SFP in this port is not qualified for use in this system. When this condition is detected, event 464 is logged. Incorrect protocol: The SFP protocol does not match the port protocol. When this condition is detected, event 464 is logged. Part Number If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the SFP part number. Supported Speeds FC only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the link speeds that the SFP supports. 10G Compliance iSCSI only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the SFP's 10G compliance code. If the SFP returns an unsupported code, this field will show the equivalent hex value. Ethernet Compliance iSCSI only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the SFP's Ethernet compliance code. If the SFP returns an unsupported code, this field will show the equivalent hex value. Cable Technology iSCSI only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows whether the SFP supports active or passive cable technology. Cable Length iSCSI only. If the detail parameter is specified, this field shows the link length (in meters) that is supported by the SFP while operating in compliance with applicable standards for the cable type.
