1 – CONNECTIONS
SHOW CONNECTIONS displays the World Wide Names of each
Host Bus Adapter (HBA) attached to the controller. If
connections between the HBAs and the MSA have been given
user-defined names, these names are also displayed.
Note:
- The SHOW CONNECTIONS command is applicable only for
MSA and not Smart Array controllers.
- Use the SHOW CONNECTIONS command to verify that all
connections to the MSA are recognized and defined.
- Use the SHOW CONNECTIONS command to display information
about each HBA connected to the MSA, including
connection name, WWPN, and profile.
Format:
SHOW CONNECTIONS / <Qualifiers>

are identified by their corresponding
SCSI bus and SCSI IDs for all the controllers.
For SAS controllers, internally connected
disks are numbered based on their bay numbers

based on combination of their box number
and bay number as
"disk_n" = box Number *100 + bay number".
