View the NSS Configuration

Once you create the storage groups and NSS volumes, you can check your NSS configuration. If no NSS volumes appear here, your setup probably was not successful or NSS is not loaded. If your setup was not successful, return to Setting Up , Configure NSS Storage Groups and Volumes Using the NSS Administration Menus, or Troubleshooting.

NOTE: This procedure uses the NWCONFIG utility or the NSS Administration menus, which allows you to view your NSS configuration in detail. For a simple list of all your volumes, including NSS volumes, enter volumes at the server console.

Enter nwconfig at the server console.

NSS loads automatically with NWCONFIG.
