Usage Guidelines
The command is case sensitive. With no arguments, the show inventory command produces a compact
dump of all identifiable entities that have a product identifier. The compact displays the entity location
(slot identity), entity description, and the UDI (PID, VID, and SN) of that entity.
If there is no PID, no output is displayed when a user enters the show inventory command.
Note
Expressions are case sensitive. For example, if you enter | exclude output, the lines that contain output
are not displayed, but the lines that contain Output are displayed.
