How to Use the Command Line Interface
The commands that you run on the CLI provide access to the script engine, specify the storage subsystem to receive the script
commands, and set operation environment parameters.
A CLI command consists of these elements:
- The term SMcli
- The storage subsystem identifier
- Parameters
- Script commands
A CLI command takes this form:
SMcli storageArray parameters script-commands;
-
SMcli invokes the command line interface.
-
storageArray is the name or the IP address of the storage subsystem.
-
parameters are CLI parameters that define the environment and the purpose for the command.
-
script-commands are one or more script commands or the name of a script file that contains script commands. (The script commands are the
storage subsystem configuration commands.)
