HP Array Controller HSG V8.7 Software - Manual (Page 275)

CLI Commands B–3
n Device Commands—Create and configure containers made from
physical devices attached to the controller.
n Storageset Commands—Create and configure complex containers
made from groups of device containers. There are four basic types
of storagesets: stripesets, RAIDsets, striped-mirrorsets, and
mirrorsets. Storageset commands group device containers together
and allow them to be handled as single units.
n Logical Unit Commands—Create and optimize access to logical
units made from any container type.
n Failover Commands—Configure the controllers to operate in
transparent failover while also providing support for dual-
redundant configurations.
n Diagnostic and Utility Commands—Perform general controller
support functions.
Getting Help
Help on using the CLI is at your fingertips. For an overview of the CLI
help system, enter help at the prompt. For help on a specific command
or to determine what switches are available with a command, enter as
much of the command as you know followed by a space and a question
mark. For example, to get information on the switches used with the
SET THIS_CONTROLLER command, enter:
SET THIS_CONTROLLER ?
See “HELP,” page B–69 for further information.
Entering CLI Commands
Use the following tips and techniques when entering CLI commands:
n Commands are not case sensitive.
n For most commands, you only need to enter enough of the
command to make the command unique. For example, SHO is the
same as entering SHOW.
n The controller processes each command in sequence. You can
continue entering subsequent commands while the controller is
processing prior commands. A controller experiencing heavy data
I/O may respond slowly to CLI commands.
