NAME
sysconfig - display filer configuration information
SYNOPSIS
sysconfig [ -d | -m | -r | -t | [ -v ] [
slot
] ]
DESCRIPTION
sysconfig displays the configuration information about the filer. Without any
arguments, the output includes the Data ONTAP 5.3 version number and a sep-
arate line for each I/O device on the filer. If the
slot
argument is specified,
sysconfig displays detail information for the specified physical slot; slot 0 is the
system board, and slot
n
is the
n
th expansion slot on the filer.
OPTIONS
-d Displays vital product information for each disk.
-m Displays tape library information. To use this option, the autoload setting of
the tape library must be off when the filer boots.
-r Displays RAID configuration information.
-t Displays device and configuration information for each tape drive.
-v Displays detailed information about each I/O device. For SCSI or Fibre Chan-
nel host adapters, the additional information includes a separate line
describing each attached disk.
