The command line interface (CLI) provides direct access to the script engine from the command line shell of your operating
system. The CLI provides an efficient way to edit, send, and execute storage management commands on multiple network . Although you also can access the script engine using the Enterprise Management Window, doing so lets you edit or execute
script commands only on the storage subsystem that you have selected in the Enterprise Management Window instead of multiple
storage subsystems.
Use the CLI to perform these tasks:
Access the script engine directly instead of through the Enterprise Management Window.
Select multiple storage subsystems on which to run script commands.
Supply script language commands either directly to the command line interface window or to a script file.
Create batch files of script commands for execution on multiple storage subsystems.
Run script commands on or storage subsystems, or a combination of both.
Run mass operations on multiple storage subsystems, such as firmware downloads and upgrades.
View configuration information about the network storage subsystems.
Add storage subsystems to the .
Perform an automatic discovery of all storage subsystems attached to the local subnet.
Add or delete destinations and email alert notifications.
Specify the mail server and sender email address or SNMP server for alert notifications.
View the alert notification settings for storage subsystems currently configured in the Enterprise Management Window.
Direct the output to standard command line display or to a named file.
The CLI operates from the command line shell of your operating system.
