nsAllShow

Displays global name server information.

Synopsis nsallshow [type]

Description Use this command to display the 24-bit Fibre Channel addresses of all devices in all switches in the

fabric. If the type operand is supplied, only devices of specified FC-PH type are displayed. If type is

omitted, all devices are displayed.

Specifying the type operand causes the switch to send out a query to every switch in the fabric. On

a large fabric you should not run a script that repeatedly issues the nsAllShow command with a

type operand specified.

The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.

Operands This command has the following operand:

type Specify the FC-PH type code. This operand is optional. The valid values for this

operand are 0 to 255. Following are two specific FC-PH device type codes:

8 = FCP type device

4 , 5 = FC-IP type device

Other FC-PH types are displayed in the format “x ports supporting FC4 code,”

where x is the number of ports of a type and code is the FC-PH type code.
