5-2-2-2 Function Tags

Before you write the settings, you need to state the function of the parameter. This is called a function tag, and is

formatted as a string that is in brackets ([ ]). The type and order of the function tag are determined by the

product. Function tags have the following characteristics:

At least one function tag is required in a spreadsheet.

The function tag must be written at the very beginning of the row.

If a function tag is already on the current spreadsheet and does not need to be changed, it must be deleted

from the new spreadsheet so it is not processed. If the function tag remains in the spreadsheet, and no new

settings for the tag are written, the settings are processed as deleted. [CHA], [Port] and [LDEV] tags do not

support a delete operation, so if no new setting is written for these functions an error occurs.

Any other comments and settings written in the same row as the function tag are ignored.

The row after the function tag indicates the required setting items (CHA and PCB Mode in the example) for

the function. The setting items are separated by commas.

Example:
[CHA]
#CHA,PCB Mode

The existing settings for the function are written. The existing settings row, which starts with “#$”, is

recognized as a comment row.

The settings in the rows that start with “#$” are not allowed to change.

Example:
[LUN]
#Port,HostGroup,LUN,CU,LDEV (items to be changed)
#$1C,0,1,1,1 (existing settings row)

An example of the declaration and the function tag is as follows:
#!Version 04_00_00,LUN,Change
[CHA]
[Port]
[HostGroup]
[WWN]
[LUN]
[LDEV]
