Displays the characteristics of paging spaces.
lsps { -s | [ -c | -l ] { -a | -t { lv | nfs } | PagingSpace } }
The lsps command displays the characteristics of paging spaces, such as the paging-space name, physical-volume name, volume-group name, size, percentage of the paging space used, whether the space is active or inactive, and whether the paging space is set to automatic. The PagingSpace parameter specifies the paging space whose characteristics are to be shown.
For NFS paging spaces, the physical-volume name and volume-group name will be replaced by the host name of the NFS server and the path name of the file that is used for paging.
You can use a Web-based System Manager File Systems application (wsm fs fast path) to run this command. You could also use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) smit lsps fast path to run this command.
To list the characteristics of all paging spaces, enter:
lsps -a
This displays the characteristics for all paging spaces and provides a listing similar to the following listing:
