How to get CPG raid type from CLI in HPE 3PAR?

[mark_collins]

Was testing out CPG configurations on our new 3PAR and am trying to get RAID configuration info from the CLI. I've already taken a look at this link here: https://community.hpe.com/t5/3PAR-StoreServ-Storage/How-to-get-HP-3PAR-CPG-Raid-Configuration-info-from-CLI/td-p/6872108
I can interpret "showcpg -sdg", where the argument after -t is the raid type, but not for the third CPG.

3par cli% showcpg -sdg
------(MiB)------
Id Name Warn Limit Grow Args
0 FC_r1 - - 32768 -ssz 2 -ha mag -t r1 -p -devtype FC
1 FC_r6 - - 32768 -ssz 6 -ha mag -t r6 -p -devtype FC
2 CPG_test 40960 81920 8192 -ha mag -ssz 3 -p -devtype FC -rpm 10

Are there any ways to interpret what RAID type that CPG is? Or are there any other commands I can run to check?

Reading the 3PAR Command Line Reference manual, the "createcpg" command has a default raid type. With 3PAR OS 3.3.1, the default is RAID6.

If you have created one or more volumes using CPG_test, there will be logical disks (LD) created against the CPG. Use the command "showld -cpg CPG_test" to see the characteristics of the LDs.
