Show Controller Diagnostic Status
This command returns the status of controller diagnostics started by the start controller diagnostic
command. If the diagnostics have finished, the entire results of the diagnostic tests are shown. If the
diagnostic tests have not finished, only the results of the of the tests that are finished are shown. The
results of the test are shown on the terminal, or you can write the results to a file.
Syntax
show controller [(a | b)] diagnosticStatus [file=filename]
Parameters
Parameter Description
controller The setting to return information about a specific controller
in the storage subsystem. Valid controller identifiers are a or
b, where a is the controller in slot A, and b is the controller
in slot B. Enclose the controller identifier in square brackets
([ ]).
file The name of the file that contains the results of the
diagnostic tests. This command does not automatically
append a file extension to the file name. You must add an
extension when you enter the file name.
Show Controller NVSRAM
This command returns a list of the NVSRAM byte values for the specified host type. If you do not enter
the optional parameters, this command returns a list of all of the NVSRAM byte values.
Syntax
show (allControllers | controller [(a | b)]) NVSRAM [hostType=hostTypeIndexLabel
| host=”hostName”]
Parameters
Parameter Description
allControllers The setting to return information about both controllers in the
storage subsystem.
controller The setting to return information about a specific controller in
the storage subsystem. Valid controller identifiers are a or b,
where a is the controller in slot A, and b is the controller in
slot B. Enclose the controller identifier in square brackets ([ ]).
hostType The index label or number of the host type. Use the show
storageSubsystem hostTypeTable command to generate a list
of available host type identifiers.
host The name of the host that is connected to the controllers.
Enclose the host name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
Notes
Use the show controller NVSRAM command to show parts of or all of the NVSRAM before using the set
controller command to change the NVSRAM values. Before making any changes to the NVSRAM,
contact your IBM Technical Support representative to learn what regions of the NVSRAM you can
modify.
