-n

Use to specify the name of the storage array on which to
run the script commands. This name is optional when you
use host-name-or-IP-address; however, if you are using the
in-band method for managing the storage array, you must
use the -n parameter if more than one storage array is
connected to the host at the specified address.

The storage array name is required when
host-name-or-IP-address is not used; however, the name
of the storage array configured for use in the MD Storage
Manager GUI (that is, listed in the configuration file)
must not be a duplicate name of any other configured
storage array.

-o

Use with the -c or -f parameter to specify a file name for all
output text that is a result of running the script
commands.

-p

Use to specify the password for the storage array on which
to run commands. A password is not necessary under the
following conditions:

• A password has not been set on the storage array.

• The password is specified in a script file that is running.

• The storage array password is specified by using the

-c

parameter and the set session password=password
command.
