display buffer to see all of the information. Because this information is so detailed, you might want to save the output to a file. To save the output to a file, enter the command as shown in the following example:

client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "show storageArray profile;" -o c:\folder\storageArrayprofile.txt

In this example, the name folder is the folder in which you choose to place the profile file, and storageArrayprofile.txt is the name of the file. You can choose any folder and any file name.

CAUTION: When you write information to a file, the script engine does not check to determine if the file name already exists. If you choose the name of a file that already exists, the script engine writes over the information in the file without warning.

When you save the information to a file, you can use the information as a record of your configuration and as an aid during recovery.

To return a brief list of the storage array features and components, use the summary parameter. The command is similar to the following example:

client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "show storageArray summary;"

The summary information is also returned as the first section of information when you use the profile parameter.

The following show commands return information about the specific components of a storage array. The information returned by each of these commands is the same as the information returned by the show storageArray profile command, but is constrained to the specific component.

NOTE: The following commands are not complete commands. For information about a command, see the referenced section next to the command.
