| Element | Purpose | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| -server hostname | Specifies the name of the computer on which the ISM server is running | If you omit this option, this command looks first for an ISM server on the local computer and then for the first ISM server to respond over the network. |
| -admins | Shows all administrators for this ISM server | None. |
| -config | Shows all server parameters for this ISM server | None. |
| -devices | Displays all storage devices that this ISM server recognizes and the volumes that are currently mounted on the devices | None. |
| -volumes | Displays the name of each volume in the ISM catalog, the volume pool to which each volume belongs, whether the volume can be used only in restore operations, the number of bytes written to each volume, the percent of space used (or the word full to indicate that the volume is filled to capacity), and the volume expiration date | Volume recycling status is reported in the first
column of the report:
If a volume cannot be used in a backup operation, an -R flag appears in the fourth column of the display. |
| -volume name | Displays the save-set IDs for complete save sets, the save-set name, whether a save set has been marked suspect, the total bytes in the save set, and the save-set creation date for all save sets on a volume | If a save set has been marked suspect, an -S flag appears in the third column of the display. |
