VST or GST

[odvarka]

Hi, what command can I use in NimbleOS to find out if a volume is VST or GST?

Hi odvarka

In HPE Nimble Storage, you can use the nimble_vol_info command to obtain information about a specific volume, including whether it is provisioned as a Volume Collection (VST) or a Group Snapshot (GST). Here's how you can use the command:

nimble_vol_info --vol_name <volume_name>

Replace <volume_name> with the name of the volume you want to check.

Look for the "Type" field in the command output. If the volume is provisioned as a Volume Collection (VST), the "Type" field will display "Volume Collection." If it is a Group Snapshot (GST), the "Type" field will display "Group Snapshot."

Command:
group –info

The nimble_vol_info command provides detailed information about the specified volume, including its type, size, snapshots, performance policies, and more. By examining the "Type" field in the command output, you can determine whether the volume is provisioned as a VST or a GST

Hope this helps.!!

Regards
Mahesh.
