Usage Guidelines
The command is case sensitive. With no arguments, the show inventory command produces a compact
dump of all identifiable entities that have a product identifier. The compact dump displays the entity
location (slot identity), entity description, and the unique device identifier (UDI) (PID, VID, and SN) of
that entity.
Note If there is no PID, no output appears when you enter the show inventory command.
Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enter | exclude output, the lines that contain output
are not displayed, but the lines that contain Output are displayed.
