Which command will show the FCP target(s) on a storage system?

• A. fcp show all
• B. fcp show adapter
• C. fcp status
• D. fcp show -t

Answer: (B)

Fibre Channel targets are the devices presented by the storage system over the FC fabric, and to see which ones are reachable you need to inspect how the FCP topology is built around the adapters. The command that surfaces this topology by listing each Fibre Channel adapter and the targets connected to it is the one that shows fcp adapter details. It directly enumerates the adapters and their associated targets, giving you the list of FCP targets visible to the system. Other options either provide general FCP status, or output more verbose or differently scoped information, but don’t specifically present the targets per adapter in a concise way.
