256
To determine which parameters can be queried, use the help feature of the CLI (" The help command " on
page 52 ).
Hiding warning prompts
When you enter a command for an operation that can potentially destroy user data, the CLI displays a
warning and prompts you for input (a y or an n) before continuing the operation. This situation is undesirable
when running batch file scripts. To prevent warning prompts from being displayed, use the term forced as
a parameter.
Example command:
ctrl ch="Lab4" ld 1 delete forced
Under VMware ESXi 5.x, the forced flag is required for any command that has the option for a forced flag.
If the forced parameter is not used, the system generates an error message notifying the user that the
command could not be completed without this flag.
Keyword abbreviations
Several commonly used keywords in the HP SSA CLI have acceptable abbreviations, as shown in the
following table. For a complete list of abbreviations, enter help shorthand in the HP SSA CLI.
