NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

-l -list

List all the storage paths on a system and the relationship those paths have to storage devices.

-L -list-compact

List all the storage paths on a system and the relationship those paths have to storage devices, but do it in a format better suited to parsing from external scripts.

-m -list-map

List all the storage paths on a system and show their relationship to the Storage adatper the path comes from.

-b -list-paths

List all the storage devices on the system and their corresponding paths with transport specific details if available.

-G -list-plugins

List all of the Pluggable Storage Architecture multipath plugins currently installed on the system.

-s -state

Set the state of a given path to either "on" or "off". This flag requires the --path option to be specified. This operation may appear to fail if there is active I/O on a path that is set to "off". Setting the path to "off" will administratively disable this path and its state will be reported as "off". Setting the path to on will restore it to normal operation where the path state is dictated by the health of the path's transport media.

-P -path

Required to specify the path to use in operations. This is a required parameter for other options and does not itself indicate an operation.

-d -device

Required to specify the storage device to use in operations. This is a required parameter for other options and does not itself indicate an operation.

-h -help

Print the help message.

-r -restore

Restore path setting to configured values on system start. This should not be used by end users as it may cause unintended consequences when executed on a running system.
