This example shows how to run commands in a script file named scriptfile.scr
on a storage array named Example. The -e parameter runs the file without
checking syntax. Executing an SMcli command without checking syntax
enables the file to run more quickly; however, the SMcli command may not
execute correctly if the syntax is incorrect.

SMcli -n Example -f scriptfile.scr -e

This example shows how to run commands in a script file named scriptfile.scr
on a storage array named Example. In this example, the storage array is
protected by the password My_Array. Output, as a result of commands in the
script file, goes to file output.txt.

Windows:

SMcli -n Example -f scriptfile.scr -p "My_Array" -

o output.txt

Linux:

SMcli -n Example -f scriptfile.scr -p ‘My_Array’ -

o output.txt

This example shows how to display all storage arrays that are currently
discovered in the current configuration. The command in this example
returns the host name of each storage array.

SMcli -d

If you want to know the IP address of each storage array in the configuration,
add the -i parameter to the command.

SMcli -d -i
