displaysd command

This command captures service data for users to download.

Service information for the CMMs includes Flex System component VPD, the CMM event log, connection status, and self-test results. If multiple user interface sessions issue the displaysd command, the commands will be processed in the order that they are received. Some types of service information are displayed for only the primary CMM.

Note:
  • When the CMM is set to "Secure" security mode, only secure file transfer methods, such as HTTPS and SFTP, can be used for tasks involving file transfer when the CMM is acting as a server. Unsecure file transfer protocols, such as HTTP, FTP, and TFTP, are disabled when the CMM is acting as a server when the security mode is set to "Secure". Unsecure file transfer protocols remain available for a CMM acting as a client for all commands when the security mode is set to "Secure".
  • For information about how to specify a URL for file transfer, see Specifying a URL for file transfer.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or displaysd command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the displaysd command.

Table 1. displaysd command.

The command table is a multi-row, four-column table where each row describes a CMM CLI command option: column one lists command function, column two provides a detailed command description, column three shows command-option syntax, and column four lists valid command targets.
Function What it does Command Target (see paths in Command targets)
Display CMM connection and self-test status Displays connection status and latest self-test results for the primary CMM.
Note: The displaysd -mmstat command must be run exclusive of other command options
 displaysd -mmstat
Primary CMM:
  • mm[p]
  • mm[P]
  • mm[x]
  • where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Save service information (with warnings) Saves service information from primary CMM to the specified location, displaying any warnings about standby CMM that might occur. displaysd -u URL

where URL is the fully qualified uniform resource locator, including file name, of the tftp, ftp, http, https, or sftp server where the service information is to be saved.
Primary CMM:
  • mm[p]
  • mm[P]
  • mm[x]
  • where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Save service information (override warnings) Saves service information from primary CMM to the specified location, overriding warnings about standby CMM. displaysd -u URL -o

where URL is the fully qualified uniform resource locator, including file name, of the tftp, ftp, http, https, or sftp server where the service information is to be saved.
Primary CMM:
  • mm[p]
  • mm[P]
  • mm[x]
  • where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Example: To display connection status and latest self-test results for the primary CMM in bay 1, while the chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type:
displaysd -mmstat -T system:mm[1]

The following example shows the information that is returned from this command:

system> displaysd -mmstat -T system:mm[1]

Note:
  • In this example, node 10 indicates the substructure that is present for logical node groupings and storage expansion enclosures.
  • If a large amount of service information is available, display could exceed the capacity of your command-prompt window, resulting in loss of information displayed at the start of the data set. If this happens, you will need to clear the CMM event log to reduce the amount of information being captured.
