Table: bpstsinfo command operational notes
| Note | Description |
|---|---|
|
Use either the -stype option or the -storageserverprefix |
Use either the -stype option or the -storageserverprefix option to constrain the bpstsinfo command to list storage server information. If you do not, the command searches all providers, which may be time consuming and may result in a timeout. |
|
Specify the correct -stype |
The plug-in that requests the information affects the information that is returned. Therefore, use the correct -stype with the bpstsinfo command. To determine the -stype, use the following command: nbdevquery -liststs -storage_server fq_host_name If the storage is encrypted, the -stype includes an _crypt suffix. |
|
Encrypted and non-encrypted storage units are displayed in bpstsinfo command output |
When you use the bpstsinfo command to display the encrypted logical storage unit (LSU) information, the output shows both encrypted and non-encrypted LSUs if both types exist. That output is the expected result. The bpstsinfo command operates on the level of the storage plug-in, which is not aware of any higher-level detail, such as encryption. The following is an example of a command that specifies encrypted storage: bpstsinfo -lsuinfo -storage_server amazon.com -stype amazon_crypt |
