configShow

Displays system configuration settings.

Synopsis

configshow -pattern “pattern

configshow [-all | -fid FID| -chassis] [-local|-USB|-U] [file] [-pattern "pattern"]

Description

Use this command to display system configuration settings. Some but not all of these parameters
are set by the configure and configureChassis commands.

Beginning with Fabric OS v6.2.0, configuration data is grouped into chassis information and switch
information. Each configuration type is managed separately. The behavior of configShow depends
on the environment in which the command is executed:

In a Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without operands, this command displays the
switch configuration for the current logical switch. An Admin with chassis permissions can use
additional parameters to display configuration data for a specified logical switch (-fid FID), for
the chassis (-chassis), or for all logical switches and the chassis (-all).

In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, when executed without operands, this command displays
the switch configuration. When executed with the -all operand, configShow displays all of the
system's configuration data, including chassis and switch configuration data. The -chassis
option displays the chassis configuration only. The -fid option is not valid.

Notes

Not all values displayed are applicable to all system models and configurations.

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability"
for details.

Operands

The following operands are optional:

-pattern “pattern

Specifies a text string, enclosed in double quotation marks, that limits the
output of the command to only those entries that contain the pattern. Use of
wildcards and other common regular expression operators is not supported.
Some configuration settings do not display when filtered. When in doubt, use
the command without the -pattern operand.

-all

Displays all configuration data including chassis and switch configuration.

-fid FID

Displays configuration data for a logical switch specified by its fabric ID. This
option is valid only in a Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis
permissions

-chassis

Displays configuration data for the chassis only. This option is valid only in a
Virtual Fabric environment and requires chassis permissions

-local [file]

Displays the content of a configuration file that was previously created by
configUpload and stored on the chassis. The output can be optionally filtered
by -pattern “pattern”. If file is omitted, the command prompts for a file name.
The output format when -local is specified matches that of configUpload and
contains a superset of the information provided when -local is not specified.
