6.27 List Devices

list devices [exclude] [more|all]

Print a list of the devices. For each device, display the device name, size, free available space, partitioning type, if it is marked as Shareable for Clustering, and if it is an NSS software RAID device. If no other options are specified, this prints a list of all devices and software RAID devices.

nlvm [-t] list devices [exclude] [more|all]

Command Options

exclude=<raid|nonraid|shared|nonshared|lvm|nonlvm>

Exclude the specified type of devices. This option can be used multiple times to add exclusions for different types. Valid device types are raid, nonraid, shared, nonshared, lvm, or nonlvm.

Example

exclude=raid exclude=nonshared
-t , --terse

Use this NLVM option to format the output for parsing.

more

Prints more information than appears in the standard output. It can be used with or without the -t NLVM option.

Example

more
all

Prints detailed information about each of the devices. This is the same information that is printed for the nlvm list device <device_name> command. It can be used with or without the -t NLVM option.

Example

all

Command Example

nlvm list devices exclude=raid exclude=nonshared exclude=lvm all

Print detailed information for all non-LVM shared devices that are not software RAID devices.

Response Parameters

You can issue the commands with the --terse NLVM option to output the same information in a format that is more easily parsed.

Standard Output

The command returns the following standard information about the devices on the server:

Label

Description

Name

Device name such as sdb or raid1

Size

Total amount of space on the device in KB, MB, GB, or TB

Used

Used space on the device in KB, MB, GB, or TB

Free

Available space on the device in KB, MB, GB, or TB

Format

MSDOS, GPT, CSM (legacy EVMS Cluster Segment Manager), LVM (clustered Linux LVM volume), None (not initialized)

Shared

Yes or No; whether this device is marked as Shareable for Clustering

RAID

Yes or No; whether this is an NSS software RAID device

Enabled

Yes or No; whether the RAID is enabled on this node

More Output

The command returns the following additional information about the devices on the server:

Label

Description

RAID

Type (0, 1, or 5) or No; type of NSS RAID device, or not a RAID

Sync

Yes or %; whether the RAID is in sync or percent completed

M:M

Major:Minor numbers, such as 8:112

All Output

If the all option is used, the command returns the same information about each device as is displayed for the nlvm list device <device_name> command. This includes information about its partitions, or about its partitions and segments for RAID devices.
