HPE 3 Par Storage can be a burden to administrate at times. If you don’t have the commands in a spot where you can easily access them, well, good luck. It can take a while to look up all these bad boys up.
To help our wonderful 3PAR support clients, we have compiled a short list of commonly used show commands for HPE 3PAR systems, which will mostly display detailed information about your system and its status. If there are any we forgot that you commonly use, send us a message, and we will add it to the list!
