Basic Commands-whist*Returns write histogram information. Write Histogram is an arrayof 10 locations that contain the number of writes. Element n of thearray contains the number of writes that were larger than or equalto 2n-1 and less than 2n blocks in size. For example, the firstbucket contains the number of 1 block writes, the second containsthe number of 2-3 block writes, the third contains the number of4-7 block writes, and so on. whist also displays the writehistogram overflows, which are the number of writes that werelarger than 512 blocks.-writes**Returns the number of writes received for each CRU.ExampleThis example retrieves the LBA (logical block address), LUN capacity,and alignment offset information.naviseccli -h ss1_spa getlun -addroffset -offset -capacityLOGICAL UNIT NUMBER 0Offset: 0LUN Capacity(Megabytes): 1024LUN Capacity(Blocks): 2097152Address Offset: 0LOGICAL UNIT NUMBER 1Offset: 0LUN Capacity(Megabytes): 5120LUN Capacity(Blocks): 10485760Address Offset: 2097152LOGICAL UNIT NUMBER 2Offset: 7530LUN Capacity(Megabytes): 10240LUN Capacity(Blocks): 20971520Address Offset: 12582912This example retrieves information about LUN number 13:naviseccli -h ss1_spa getlun 13(See sample listing following)Note: To use this command with navicli, replace naviseccli with navicli.187
