About using the Backup Exec Command Line Applet
with the Storage Provisioning Option

The Backup Exec Command Line Applet lets you access the features of the Storage
Provisioning Option from command line.

When you use the Command Line Applet, you can do the following:

View physical disk information.

View storage array or virtual disk information.

Configure unconfigured virtual disks.

Rename a storage array or virtual disk.

Rediscover storage arrays.

The Command Line Applet uses a set of functional switches that you type in a
command prompt to perform Storage Provisioning Option functions and utilities.
To use the Command Line Applet on the computer, type the appropriate command
line switch and any additional parameters that are required. For example, to see
information about a physical disk in a storage array, type the following at the
command prompt:

bemcmd -o531 -pi:<physical disk ids>
