Chapter 3: StorCLI Command Syntax
This chapter describes the StorCLI command syntax and the valid values for each parameter in the general
command syntax.
The StorCLI syntax uses the following general format:
<[object identifier]> <verb> <[adverb | attributes | properties] > <[key=value]>
The StorCLI tool supports the object identifiers listed in the following table.
NOTE To get the output in JSON format, add J at the end of the command syntax.
Example: storcli /cx show <property1>|<property2> J.
NOTE JSON format output is not supported in the EFI operating system . The EFI platform ignores the J when it is
added at the end of the command syntax.
NOTE Background operations are blocked in the EFI and HII environments and these operations are resumed in the
operating system environments.
