support.dell.com PowerVault 51F Commands 4-23
nsShow
The nsShow command displays local name server information, which includes infor-
mation about devices connected to this switch, and cached information about devices
connected to other switches in the fabric.
The message There is no entry in the Local Name Server is displayed if
there is no information on this switch, but there still may be devices connected to
other switches in the fabric. The command nsAllShow shows information from all
switches. Otherwise, text similar to the following example appears informing the user
the number of name service entries that have been created with the title:
The Local Name Server has n entries
Type Pid COS PortName NodeName TTL(sec)
Each subsequent line of output shows the value of each field as described in
Table 4-12. There may be additional lines if the device has registered any of the follow-
ing information (the switch will automatically register SCSI Inquiry data for FCP target
devices): FC4s supported, IP address, IPA, port and node symbolic names.
There are six major columns of information for each entry.
NOTE: Only local entries are displayed.
passwd
The passwd command is used to set user names and passwords.
The command syntax is passwd [ "user name" ].
