Below are some common commands for 3PAR Storage provisioning
===================================================
Command to get the paths allocated in the servers
showvlun -v <vv name> -pathsum
showvlun -v <vv name*>
showvlun -host <hostname> -pathsum
Command to get the detailed description of a host
showhost -desc <hostname*>
Command to get the detailed host and port information
