Shell Object Commands

Shell object commands either apply to all the controllers in the system (such
as show, rescan, flush, commit), or they redirect the focused object.

Syntax

focus object

commit

flush

rescan

show [attribute [modifier]]

alarms [reverse]

diag

rebuild

selftest

ver

verify

update fw=filename_with_path [force]

focus Object

The focus command is active in interactive mode only and is provided to
reduce typing.

The focus command sets the specified object in focus and changes the prompt
to reflect the specified object. This allows you to type a command that applies
to the specified object instead of typing the entire object name each time.

For example, where normally you might type:

/c0/u0 show

If you set the focus to

/c0/u0

, the prompt changes to reflect

/c0/u0

, and you

only have to type

show

. The concept is similar to working in a particular

location in a file system and requesting a listing of the current directory.

When you type the command focus /object, object can have the following
forms:

/cx/ux

specifies the fully qualified Universal Resource Identifier (URI)

of an object on controller

cx

, unit

ux

.

..

(two trailing periods) specifies one level up (the parent object).

/

(a forward slash) specifies the root

object specifies the next level of the object.
