The command that shows the overall VPLEX status is cluster status. This command provides a comprehensive view of the health and status of the VPLEX cluster.

Command Usage: The cluster status command is executed in the VPLEX CLI (Command Line Interface). When run, it will display the status of the VPLEX cluster, including the health of the directors, connectivity, and any issues that may be affecting the system1.

Overall Status: The output from the cluster status command includes information about the operational state of the cluster, such as the status of the storage volumes, the inter-cluster communication, and the performance metrics1.

Health Check: This command is often used as a quick health check to ensure that the VPLEX system is functioning correctly and to identify any potential issues that need to be addressed1.

Monitoring and Troubleshooting: The cluster status command is a valuable tool for monitoring the VPLEX system and for troubleshooting any problems that may arise1.

Documentation Reference: For more information on the usage of the cluster status command and other management server commands, administrators should refer to the VPLEX CLI and Administration Guides for the code level the VPLEX is running1.

In summary, the cluster status command is used to display the overall status of the VPLEX system, providing administrators with a quick and effective way to monitor the health and performance of the cluster.
