Show storage Array
The show storageArray command returns configuration information about the storage system.
Supported Series
This command applies to any individual storage system, including the HB2100/HB2200/HB2300, HB5100/HB5200, AB6100 and AB3100 series, as long as all SMcli packages are installed.
Roles
To execute this command on an HB2100/HB2200/HB2300, HB5100/HB5200, AB6100, or AB3100 storage system, you must have the Storage Admin or Storage Monitor role.
Context
The parameters return lists of values for the components and features in the storage system. You can enter the command with a single parameter or more than one parameter. If you enter the command without any parameters, the entire storage system profile is shown (which is the same information as if you entered the profile parameter).

|
The parameter to show the health, logical properties, and physical component properties of the storage system. |
||
|
The parameter to return the enablement status of the host connectivity reporting feature. |
||
|
The parameter to show a table of all of the host types that are known to the controller. Each row in the table shows a host type index and the platform that the host type index represents. |
||
|
The parameter to show information about which volumes of the storage system have hot spare coverage and which volumes do not. |
||
|
The parameter to return information about connection-level settings that are subject to initiator-target negotiation. |
||

|
||
|
The parameter to show the preferred controller owner for each volume in the storage system. |
||
|
The parameter to show all of the properties of the logical components and the physical components that comprise the storage system. The information appears in several screens.
Use the following command to save the profile output to a file: c:\...\smX\client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89 -c "show storagearray profile;" -o "c:\folder\storagearray profile.txt" |

|
The parameter to show a concise list of information about the storage system configuration. |
||
|
The parameter to show the current time to which both controllers in the storage system are set. |
||
|
The parameter to return a list of initiators that have been detected by the storage system but are not yet configured into the storage system topology. |
||
|
The parameter to show the current controller owner for each volume in the storage system. |
Notes
The profile parameter shows detailed information about the storage system. The information appears on several screens on a display monitor. You might need to increase the size of your display buffer to see all of the information. Because this information is so detailed, you might want to save the output of this parameter to a file. To save the output to a file, run the show storageArray command that looks like this example.
-c "show storageArray profile;" -o "c:\\folder\\storageArrayProfile.txt"
The previous command syntax is for a host that is running a Windows operating system. The actual syntax varies depending on your operating system.
When you save information to a file, you can use the information as a record of your configuration and as an aid during recovery.

While the storage system profile returns a large amount of data that is all clearly labeled, what’s new in the 8.41 release is the additional wear life reporting information for SSD drives in HB2100/HB2200/HB2300 or HB5100/HB5200 storage systems. While previously the wear life reporting included information on average erase count and spare blocks remaining, it now includes the percent endurance used. The percent endurance used is the amount of data written to the SSD drives to date divided by the total theoretical write limit for the drives. |
The batteryAge parameter returns information in this form.
Battery status: Optimal
Age: 1 day(s)
Days until replacement: 718 day(s)
The newer controller trays do not support the batteryAge parameter.
