For Windows

Under Windows, you set the environment variable through

My Computer >

Properties

.

1

Click the

Start

button, right-click

My Computer

, and choose

Properties

.

2

In the

Properties

dialog box, click the

Advanced

tab.

3

On the

Advanced

tab, click the

Environment Variables

button.

You can add a new variable by clicking

New

, or edit an existing variable

by selecting TW_CLI_LOG in the list and clicking

Edit

.

4

If this is the first time you are creating the environment variable, and you
want to disable command logging, add the variable TW_CLI_LOG and
specify the value as OFF. (Command logging is on by default.)

5

If the environment variable already exists, you can enable or disable it by
editing the value and changing it to ON or OFF, as desired.

6

Restart your system for the new environment variable setting to take
effect.

Return Code

While informative messages are written to standard output, error messages are
written to standard error. On success, 0 is returned. On failure, 1 is returned.

To view the return code for Linux, at the shell command prompt, type:

echo $?

The screen reports either a 0 or a 1, depending on whether the command is
successful.

For example, if you have a 3ware controller with an ID of 0, you can type the
following command:

tw_cli /c0 show

(c0 information shown here)

echo $?

0

Note:

Setting the environment variable according to the preceding description is

not persistent across reboot, because the the shell terminates when you power
down the system, and defaults are reset on powerup. To set an environment
variable that persists, set a global variable in a login config file (such as .rc or
.cshrc) that sets the variable to the desired state when the system powers up. For
details, see the manpage for the shell you are using.
