Use either the -stype option or the -storageserverprefix

Use either the -stype option or the -storageserverprefix option to constrain the bpstsinfo command to list storage server information. If you do not, the command searches all providers, which may be time consuming and may result in a timeout.

Specify the correct -stype

The plug-in that requests the information affects the information that is returned. Therefore, use the correct -stype with the bpstsinfo command. To determine the -stype, use the following command:

nbdevquery -liststs -storage_server fq_host_name

If the storage is encrypted, the -stype includes an _crypt suffix.

Encrypted and non-encrypted storage units are displayed in bpstsinfo command output

When you use the bpstsinfo command to display the encrypted logical storage unit (LSU) information, the output shows both encrypted and non-encrypted LSUs if both types exist. That output is the expected result. The bpstsinfo command operates on the level of the storage plug-in, which is not aware of any higher-level detail, such as encryption.

The following is an example of a command that specifies encrypted storage:

bpstsinfo -lsuinfo -storage_server amazon.com -stype amazon_crypt
