Controller Object Commands

cx show numdrives

This command reports the number of drives currently managed by the
specified controller /cx. This report does not include (logically) removed or
exported drives.

On 9500S and earlier controllers, physically-removed disk(s) will still be
counted. For a workaround, see “/cx/px show smart” on page 107.

Example:

//localhost> /c0 show numdrives

/c0 Number of Drives = 5

/cx show numports

This command reports how many physical connections are made to the
controller and the total number of physical ports possible for the controller.

Example for a 9650SE-16ML with no drives attached:

//localhost> /c0 show numports

/c0 Number of Ports = 16

Example for 9690SA-8E with 8 dual-port SAS drives:

//localhost> /c3 show numports

/c3 Connections = 16 of 128

/cx show numunits

This command reports the number of units currently managed by the specified
controller /cx. This report does not include off-line units (or removed units).

Example:

//localhost> /c0 show numunits

/c0 Number of Units = 1

/cx show ondegrade

This feature only applies to 9500S controllers.

This command reports the write cache policy for degraded units. If the
ondegrade policy is “Follow Unit Policy,” a unit write cache policy stays the
same when the unit becomes degraded. If the ondegrade policy is off, a unit
write cache policy will be forced to “off” when the unit becomes degraded.

Example:

//localhost> /c0 show ondegrade

/c0 Cache on Degraded Policy = Follow Unit Policy
