/cx show
This command shows summary information on the specified controller /cx.
This information is organized into a report containing two to three parts:
•A Unit summary listing all present units
•A Port summary section listing of all ports and disks attached to them.
•A BBU summary section listing, if a BBU is installed on the controller.
•The Unit summary section lists all present unit and specifies their unit number, unit type (such as RAID 5), unit status (OK, RECOVERY, INOPERABLE, UNKNOWN, DEGRADED, INITIALIZING, INIT- PAUSED, VERIFYING,
Note: If an asterisk (*) appears next to the status of a unit, there is an error on one of the drives in the unit. This feature provides a diagnostic capability for potential problem drives. The error may not be a repeated error, and may be caused by an ECC error, SMART failure, or a device error. Rescanning the controller will clear the drive error status if the condition no longer exists.
The Port summary section lists all present ports and specifies the port number, disk status, unit affiliation, size (in gigabytes) and blocks (512 bytes), and the serial number assigned by the disk vendor.
The BBU summary lists details about the BBU, if one is installed. It includes a few important attributes such as hours left (in which the current BBU can backup the controller cache in the event of power loss), temperature, voltage, readiness, and so forth.
Additional attributes about controllers, units, ports and disks can be obtained by querying for them explicitly. For details, see the other show subcommands.
