Displays global name server information.
Synopsis nsallshow [type]
Description Use this command to display the 24-bit Fibre Channel addresses of all devices in all switches in the
fabric. If the type operand is supplied, only devices of specified FC-PH type are displayed. If type is
omitted, all devices are displayed.
Specifying the type operand causes the switch to send out a query to every switch in the fabric. On
a large fabric you should not run a script that repeatedly issues the nsAllShow command with a
type operand specified.
Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability" for details.
