What command shows the hierarchy of storage devices in VPLEX?

The command that accurately reveals the hierarchy of storage devices in VPLEX is "show use hierarchy." This command is specifically designed to provide a comprehensive overview of how storage resources are organized and utilized within the VPLEX environment. Understanding the hierarchy is crucial for administrators to visualize the relationships between storage devices, their configurations, and how they interconnect to enable efficient data access and management.

The "show use hierarchy" command effectively illustrates the structure of the storage that is actively engaged within the system, thereby offering insights that are vital for effective management and optimization of storage resources. It showcases not only the devices in use but also their relationships to other components within the VPLEX architecture.

Other options do not focus specifically on showing the hierarchy of storage devices. For instance, "show storage hierarchy" might imply a similar function, but it lacks the precise terminology and context that "show use hierarchy" effectively communicates. Similarly, "show device structure" and "view storage setup" suggest a different scope of information that does not specifically address the hierarchical relationships of devices in the VPLEX ecosystem. Instead, they might focus on configuration settings or overall device setups rather than the detailed relationships and usage within the hierarchy.
