HP XP P9500 Storage - Manual (Page 120)

•
If the S/N of the connected storage system is less than a 5-digit number (for example, 00102),
input the valid digits only.
Start $Script=“HRC”,$Svr=102
•
If you want to execute the script without checking the S/N of connected storage system, do
not input any numbers for $Svr between double-quotation marks ("").
Start $Script=“HRC”,$Svr=""
Work variables
There are two types of work variables: list type, and non-list type. All work variables are initialized
before a script is executed.
•
Numeric work variables may have a value between 0x0000 and 0xffff. Numeric work variables
are initialized with 0.
•
A non-list string work variable may have a string with length up to 150 bytes. A list string
work variable may have strings with length up to 16 bytes each. String work variables are
initialized with a null string whose length is 0.
•
A list work variable may have up to 1024 items. A non-list work variable is a constant. List
work variables are initialized as empty (no items).
The work variable is part of an execution statement in a script. Table 59 (page 120) provides a
description and the storage type of each work variable statement for list and non-list types.
Table 59 Work variables
Description and storage type Type Variable

_iNumF
Stores any string. String _sMsg
Expression: _sMsgA, _sMsgB, _sMsgC, _sMsgD, _sMsgE,
_sMsgF
Reserved variables
Reserved variables include result variables (i.e., result of macro execution) and status variables
(i.e., pair status of specified volume). The reserved variables are for reference use only.
Reserved result variables
When a functional macro is executed (for example, CreateHrcPair), a result value (_Result) is issued.
Figure 19 (page 121) illustrates the result statement format, and Table 60 (page 121) lists and defines
