show maps

Description

Shows information about mappings between volumes and initiators. If no parameter is specified, this command shows information for all mapped volumes.

In a dual-controller system, if a mapping uses corresponding ports on both controllers, such as A1 and B1, the Ports field will simply show 1.

Syntax

show maps

[all]

[initiator]

[<IDs>]

Parameters all

Optional. Shows mappings of all access types: read-write, read-only, no-access, and not-mapped (default mappings). If this parameter is omitted, mappings of type not-mapped are not shown.

initiator

Optional. Shows mapping information by initiator. If this parameter is omitted, mapping information is shown by volume.

<IDs>

Optional. A comma-separated list of the names or serial numbers of host-type items (initiators, hosts, and host groups) or volumes for which to show mappings. If a volume is mapped to a host group, to see mappings you must specify the host group, not a host or initiator in the group. If a volume is mapped to a host, to see mappings you must specify the host, not an initiator in the group.

You can specify:

  • A host by name in the format <host-name>.*, where * represents all initiators in the host. Example: FC-Server.*
  • A host group by name in the format <host-group>.*.*, where the first * represents all hosts in the group and the second * represents all initiators in those hosts. Example: TestLab.*.*
Do not include both host-type and volume-type items in a list. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes.
Output Without the initiator parameter

Serial Number

The serial number of the volume.

Name

The name of the volume.

Ports
  • The controller host ports to which the mapping applies.
  • Blank if not mapped or mapped as no-access.
LUN
  • The LUN that identifies the volume to a host.
  • Blank if not mapped or mapped as no-access.
Access

Type of host access to the volume:

  • read-write: Read and write.
  • read-only: Read only.
  • no-access: No access (masked).
  • not-mapped: Not mapped.

Identifier

For an FC initiator, its WWPN. For a SAS initiator, its WWPN. For an iSCSI initiator, its node name (typically the IQN).

Nickname
  • For a host, its name in the format <host-name>.*, where the * represents all initiators in the host.
  • For a host group, its name in the format <host-group>.*.*, where the first * represents all hosts in the host group and the second * represents all initiators in those hosts.
  • Blank if not set or for all other initiators/
Profile
  • Standard: Default profile.
  • HP-UX: The host uses Flat Space Addressing.
  • OpenVMS: The initiator does not allow LUN 0 to be assigned to a mapping.
With the initiator parameter

ID

For an FC initiator, its WWPN. For a SAS initiator, its WWPN. For an iSCSI initiator, its node name (typically the IQN).
