Dell PowerVault MD3260i - Manual (Page 28)

where, command identifies the action to be performed, operand-data represents the storage array component to
configure or manage (such as a RAID controller module, physical disk, or disk group), and statement-data is what you
want to do to the component (such as, specifying the RAID level or availability of a disk group).
The general form of the syntax for operand-data is as follows:
(object-type | allobject-types | [qualifier]
(object-type [identifier] {object-type
[identifier]} | object-types [identifier-list]))
An operand-data object can be identified four ways:
• The object types and object qualifiers
• The all parameter
• Brackets
• A list of identifiers
NOTE: You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names.
Command names can have a maximum of 30 characters. If you exceed the maximum character limit, replace
square brackets ([ ]) with angle brackets (< >) to overcome this limitation.
Use an object type when the command is not referencing a specific object. The all parameter means all objects of the
specified type in the storage array (for example,
allVirtualDisks ).
To perform a command on a specific object, use brackets to identify the object (for example, virtualDisk[engineering]).
Specify a subset of objects with a list of identifiers in brackets (for example, virtualDisks[sales engineering marketing]).
In a list of identifiers, use a blank space as the delimiter. A qualifier is necessary if you want to include additional
information to describe the objects.
The following table lists the object type and identifiers associated with the object types.
Table 5. Object Types and Identifiers
Object Type Identifier
controller 0 or 1
physicalDisk Enclosure ID and the slot ID
physicalDiskChannel Physical disk channel identifier
GroupName Remote Replication virtual disk user label
host User label
hostChannel Host channel identifier
hostGroup User label
hostPort User label
snapVirtualDiskName Virtual disk user label
snapshot Virtual disk user label
snapGroup A snapshot group contains a sequence of snapshot images
of an associated base virtual disk. A snapshot group has a
repository virtual disk that is used to save data for all of the
snapshot images that are part of the snapshot group.
snapGroupName Virtual disk group user label
storageArray Not applicable
