nsCamShow
nsCamShow
Displays information about remote devices in the Name Server (NS) cache.
Synopsis nscamshow [-t]
Description Use this command to display the local NS cache information about the devices discovered in the fabric by the NS
cache manager.
If the NS cache manager does not discover new switches or new devices in the fabric, the command displays the
message "No Entry is found!"
For each discovered remote switch, this command displays the following information:
Switch entry for N
Displays the remote domain ID for the switch.
state
Displays one of the following values:
known
The local domain is aware of all the devices from this remote domain.
unknown
The local domain is unaware of devices from this remote domain.
ERROR
The information for this remote domain is unreliable.
rev
Fabric OS firmware version of the remote switch. For switches running firmware other than
Fabric OS, a string of question marks ("????") is displayed.
owner
Displays the owner of the NSCAM database entry. The value displayed is a domain ID
(domain address). For example, 0xfffc02 indicates domain 2 and is the domain on which
the command has been executed. This is the local domain and the information is stored
locally by this switch.
cap_available
Each switch in the fabric exchanges information regarding its capabilities (for example,
firmware level, feature support, etc.). When the cap_available value is 1, it indicates that the
local domain has received the capabilities of the remote domain that is being displayed.
When the value is 0 capability information has not been received.
The remaining information displayed for each device is the same that is displayed by the nsShow command. Refer
to the nsShow help page for a description of these displays.
