NAME

       mpt-status - retrieve configuration and health status from LSI hardware RAID controllers

SYNOPSIS

       mpt-status [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  mpt-status software is a query tool to access the running configuration and status of LSI SCSI HBAs.  mpt-status allows you to monitor
       the health and status of your RAID setup.

OPTIONS

	  --autoload
	      This will try to automatically load the mptctl kernel module.

       -u --controller <int>
	      Set the IOC unit (controller).

       -h --help
	      Print some help information.

       -n --newstyle
	      Use the new style output. This parameter was introduced to retain backwards compatibility. If not set, you get the old style output.
	      It  is very likely that the output of the newstyle format will change heavily in the future, so do not rely on it when writing plug-
	      ins for monitoring software, for example.

       -i --set_id <int>
	      Set id of primary device (check README).

       -p --probe_id
	      Use this to probe SCSI id's when not on id 0.

       -q --quiet
	      Do not display any warnings.

       -s --status_only
	      Only print the status information. This can be used for easy scripting

       -v --verbose
	      Print verbose information, such as warnings

       -V --version
	      Print version information

       -d --debug [<int>]
	      Enable debugging and set level optionally.  NOTE: This is not fully implemented yet.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The program's exit(2) status is meant to be interpreted as a bit mask. If everything went well, zero is returned. If not (i.e. if for exam-
       ple an error or unknown condition is detected), the bits of the return value shall be interpreted as:

       Bit   Value   Meaning
       -----------------------------------------------------------------
	 0	 1   Abnormal condition / unknown error
	 1	 2   A logical volume has failed
	 2	 4   A logical volume is degraded
	 3	 8   A logical volume is resyncing
	 4	16   At least one physical disk failed

	 5	32   At least one physical disk is in warning condition

REPORTING BUGS

       Report  bugs to your linux distribution or software vendor, if mpt-status was bundled on your installation. If you have been compiling mpt-
       status from the vanilla sources and experience problems, redirect them to preferably <ratz@drugphish.ch> or <rnibali@pyx.ch>.

BUGS

       Besides design bugs, gross software engineering and missing features, this software is considered pretty stable and can be used in  produc-
       tion environments.

NAME

       lvdisplay - display attributes of a logical volume

SYNOPSIS

       lvdisplay [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-D|--disk] [-h|--help] [-v[v]|--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [LogicalVolumePath...]

DESCRIPTION

       lvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of a logical volume like size, read/write status, snapshot information etc.

   OPTIONS
       -c, --colon
	      Generate colon seperated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.

	      The values are:

	      * logical volume name
	      * volume group name
	      * logical volume access
	      * logical volume status
	      * internal logical volume number
	      * open count of logical volume
	      * logical volume size in kilobytes
	      * current logical extents associated to logical volume
	      * allocated logical extents of logical volume
	      * allocation policy of logical volume
	      * read ahead sectors of logical volume
	      * major device number of logical volume
	      * minor device number of logical volume

       -d, --debug
	      Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG).

       -D, --disk
	      Show  attributes	of the volume group descriptor array on disk(s).  Without this switch they are derived from kernel space.  Useful,
	      if the volume group isn't active.

       -h, --help
	      Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.

       -v, --verbose
	      Display the mapping of logical extents to physical volumes and physical extents.

       -vv, --verbose --verbose
	      Like -v with verbose runtime information.

Examples
       "lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol2" shows attributes of that logical volume and its mapping of logical to physical  extents.	In  case  snapshot
       logical	volumes  have  been  created for this original logical volume, this command shows a list of all snapshot logical volumes and their
       status (active or inactive) as well.

       "lvdisplay /dev/vg00/snapshot" shows the attributes of this snapshot logical volume and also which original logical volume it is associated
       with.

DIAGNOSTICS

       lvdisplay returns an exit code of 0 for success or > 0 for error:

       1  no logical volume name(s) on command line

       95 driver/module not in kernel
       96 invalid I/O protocol version
       97 error locking logical volume manager
       98 invalid lvmtab (run vgscan(8))
       99 invalid command line

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       LVM_VG_NAME
	      The  default  Volume Group Name to use. Setting this variable enables you to enter just the Logical Volume Name rather than its com-
	      plete path.
