Parameters

Parameter Description

Parameter	Description
`allVolumes`	This parameter returns information about all of the thin volumes in the storage array.
`volume`	The name of a thin volume for which you are retrieving information. Enclose the thin volume name in square brackets ([ ]). If the thin volume name has special characters or numbers, you must enclose the thin volume name in double quotation marks (" ") inside square brackets.
`volumes`	The names of several thin volumes for which you want to retrieve information. Enter the names of the volumes using these rules: Enclose all of the names in square brackets ([ ]). Separate each of the names with a space. If the volume names have special characters or numbers, enter the names using these rules: Enclose all of the names in square brackets ([ ]). Enclose each of the names in double quotation marks (" "). Separate each of the names with a space.
`consumedCapacity`	The setting to return a concise list of information about the consumed capacity of the thin volumes.
`expansionHistory`	The setting to return a concise list of information about the expansion history of the thin volumes.
`file`	The `file` parameter specifies a file to log the output of the `expansionHistory` parameter. The `file` is valid only when used with the `expansionHistory` parameter. An invalid file name causes the command to fail.
