support.dell.com PowerVault 56F 16-Port Fibre Channel Switch Commands 4-23
#
The
nsShow
command displays local name server information, which includes infor-
mation about devices connected to this switch, and cached information about devices
connected to other switches in the fabric.
The message
$644462#
is displayed if
there is no information on this switch, but there still might be devices connected to
other switches in the fabric. The command
nsAllShow
shows information from all
switches; otherwise, text similar to the following example appears informing the user
the number of name service entries that have been created with the title:
$62#644
$9"%#9$$2,.
Each subsequent line of output shows the value of each field as described in
Table 4-12. There may be additional lines if the device has registered any of the follow-
ing information (the switch automatically registers SCSI Inquiry data for FCP target
devices): FC4s supported, IP address, IPA, port and node symbolic names.
There are six major columns of information for each entry.
NOTE: Only local entries are displayed.

TTL
The 'time-to-live' value of the entry; this is typically set
to not-applicable (

entry might be a cached version of a remote port (that

value is the number of seconds before the cached
entry expires and gets deleted from the local database.
Note also that a cached entry would have an asterisk
(*) at the beginning.
