Script Commands
CAUTION: Script commands are capable of changing the configuration and may cause loss of
data if not used correctly. Command operations are performed as soon as you run the
commands. Before using the script commands, ensure that you have backed up all data, and have
saved the current configuration so that you can reinstall it if the changes do not work.
This chapter describes the script commands used to configure, monitor, and maintain a storage array.
This chapter is organized into four sections:
• Command Formatting Rules lists general formatting rules that apply to the command syntax.
• Firmware Compatibility Levels lists the firmware level for this release.
• Commands Listed by Function lists the commands by functional activity:
– Asynchronous Remote Replication
– Disk group
– Enclosure
– Host topology
– Physical disk
– Redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller module
– Remote Replication (legacy)
– Session
– Show string
– Snapshot
– Storage array
– Virtual disk
– Virtual disk copy
• Commands Listed Alphabetically lists the commands alphabetically and, for each command, includes
command name, syntax, and parameters.
CAUTION: Commands entered using the command line interface (CLI) are capable of damaging a
configuration and causing loss of data if not used properly. Command operations are performed
as soon as you run the commands. Some commands can immediately delete configurations or
data. Before using the command line interface, make sure you have backed up all data, and save
the current configuration so that you can reinstall it if the changes you make do not work.
Command Formatting Rules
This section describes the general rules for formatting a script command and how the command syntax
is presented in the following command descriptions. Syntax unique to a specific command is explained in
the notes at the end of each command description.
• The script commands are not case sensitive. Type the commands in lowercase, uppercase, or mixed
case. (In the following command descriptions, mixed case is used as an aid to reading the command
names and understanding the purpose of the command.)
