Displays information about remote devices in the Name Server (NS) cache.
Synopsis
nscamshow [-t]
Description
Use this command to display the local NS cache information about the devices discovered in the
fabric by the NS cache manager.
If the NS cache manager does not discover new switches or new devices in the fabric, the
command displays the message
“No Entry is found!”
For each discovered remote switch, this command displays the following information:
Switch entry for N
Displays the remote domain ID for the switch.
state
Displays one of the following values:
•
known - The local domain is aware of all the devices from this remote
domain.
•
unknown - The local domain is unaware of devices from this remote
domain.
•
ERROR - The information for this remote domain is unreliable.
rev
Fabric OS firmware version of the remote switch. For switches running
firmware other than Fabric OS, the “????” string is displayed.
owner
Displays the owner of the NSCAM database entry. The value displayed is a
domain ID (domain address). For example, 0xfffc02 indicates domain 2 and
is the domain on which the command has been executed. This is the local
domain and the information is stored locally by this switch.
cap_available
Each switch in the fabric exchanges information regarding its capabilities (for
example, firmware level, feature support, etc.). When the cap_available value
is 1, it indicates that the local domain has received the capabilities of the
remote domain that is being displayed. When the value is 0 capability
information has not been received.
The remaining information displayed for each device is the same that is displayed by the nsShow
command. Refer to the nsShow help page for a description of these displays.
Note
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.

-t

following:

the switch.
•
Virtual - The device is contrived by the switch.
