Formatting Considerations
Quotation marks (" ") used as part of a name or label require special consideration when you run the CLI
and script commands on a Microsoft Windows operating system. The following explains the use of
quotation marks in names while running CLI and script commands on Windows.
When quotation marks (" ") are part of an argument, you must insert a backslash (\) before each quotation
mark character unless you are in interactive mode. For example:
-c "set storageArray userLabel=\"Engineering\";"
where, Engineering is the storage array name.
You cannot use quotation marks (" ") as part of a character string (also called string literal) within a script
command. For example, you cannot enter the following string to set the storage array name to
"Finance"Array:
-c "set storageArray userLabel=
\"\"Finance\"Array\";"
On a Linux operating system, the delimiters around names or labels are single quotation marks (‘ ’). The
Linux versions of the previous examples are:
-c ‘set storageArray userLabel="Engineering";’

Error data collected from an error encountered by the CLI is written to a file. Detailed error reporting
under the CLI works as follows:
