About the Script Commands

NOTE:

The capacity parameter returns an error if you specify a value greater than

or equal to 10 without a space separating the numeric value and its unit of measure.
(For example,

10GB

will return an error, but

10 GB

will not return an error).

Adding Comments to a Script File

You can add comments to a script file in three ways.

1 The script engine interprets as a comment any text typed after two forward

slashes (

/ /) until an end-of-line character is reached. If the script engine

does not find an end-of-line character in the script after processing a
comment, an error message is displayed, and the script operation is
terminated. This error commonly occurs when a comment is placed at the
end of a script and you did not press the Enter key.

// Deletes the existing configuration.

clear storageArray Configuration;

2 The script engine interprets any text typed between / * and * / as a

comment. If the script engine does not find both a beginning and ending
comment notation, an error message is displayed, and the script operation
is terminated.

/* Deletes the existing configuration */

clear storageArray Configuration;

3 Use the show statement to embed comments in a script file that you want

to display while the script file is running. Enclose the text you want to
display in quotation marks (" ").

show "Deletes the existing configuration";

clear storageArray Configuration;
