Terminal | Definition |
---|---|
host-name-or-IP-address |
Specifies either the host name or the Internet Protocol (IP) address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) of an in-band managed storage subsystem or an out-of-band managed storage subsystem.
|
-A |
Adds a storage subsystem to the configuration file. If you do not follow the -A terminal with a host-name-or-IP-address, auto-discovery scans the local subnet for storage subsystems. |
-a | Adds a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap destination or an email address alert destination.
|
-c | Indicates that you are entering one or more script commands to run on the specified storage subsystem. End each command with a semicolon (;). You cannot place more than one -c terminal on the same command line. You can include more than one script command after the -c terminal. |
-d |
Shows the contents of the script configuration file. The file content takes this format: storage-system-name host-name1 host-name2 |
-e | Runs the commands without performing a syntax check first. |
-F (uppercase) | Specifies the email address from which all alerts will be sent. |
-f (lowercase) |
Specifies a file name that contains script commands that you want to run on the specified storage subsystem. This terminal is similar to the -c terminal in that both terminals are intended for running script commands. The -c terminal runs individual script commands. The -f terminal runs a file of script commands. By default, any errors that are encountered when running the script commands in a file are ignored, and the file continues to run. To override this behavior, use the set session errorAction=stop command in the script file. |
-g |
Specifies an ASCII file that contains email sender contact information that will be included in all email alert notifications. The CLI assumes that the ASCII file is text only, without delimiters or any expected format. Do not use this terminal if a userdata.txt file exists. |
-h | Specifies the host name that is running the SNMP agent to which the storage subsystem is connected. Use this terminal with the -a terminal and the -x terminal. |
-I | Specifies the type of information to be included in the email alert notifications. You can select these values:
|
-i |
Shows the IP address of the known storage subsystems. Use this terminal with the -d terminal. The file contents takes this format: storage-system-name IP-address1 IPaddress2 |
-m | Specifies the host name or the IP address of the email server from which email alert notifications are sent. |
-n |
Specifies the name of the storage subsystem on which you want to run the script commands. This name is optional when you use a host-name-or-IP-address. If you are using the in-band method for managing the storage subsystem, you must use the -n terminal if more than one storage subsystem is connected to the host at the specified address. The storage subsystem name is required when the host-name-or-IP-address is not used. The name of the storage subsystem that is configured for use in the Enterprise Management Window (that is, the name is listed in the configuration file) must not be a duplicate name of any other configured storage subsystem. |
-o | Specifies a file name for all output text that is a result of running the script commands when you use this terminal with the -c terminal or the -f terminal. If you do not specify an output file, the output text goes to standard output (stdout). All output from commands that are not script commands is sent to stdout, regardless of whether this terminal is set. |
-p | Specifies the password for the storage subsystem on which you want to run commands. A password is not necessary under these
conditions:
|
-q | Specifies the frequency that you want to include additional profile or support bundle information in the email alert notifications.
An email alert notification containing at least the basic event information is always generated for every critical event.
If you set the -I terminal to eventOnly, the only valid value for the -q terminal is everyEvent. If you set the -I terminal to either the profile value or the supportBundle value, this information is included with the emails with the frequency specified by the -q terminal. These values are valid frequency values:
|
-quick |
Reduces the amount of time that is required to run a single-line operation. An example of a single-line operation is the recreate flashcopy logicalDrive command. This terminal reduces time by not running background processes for the duration of the command. Do not use this terminal for operations that involve more than one single-line operation. Extensive use of this command can overrun the controller with more commands than the controller can process, which causes operational failure. Also, status updates and configuration updates that are collected usually from background processes will not be available to the CLI. This terminal causes operations that depend on background information to fail. |
-r |
Sets or changes the alert notifications for all of the storage subsystems that are managed by a specific storage management station. Use the -r terminal with the -a terminal or the -x terminal. For storage subsystems that are managed out-of-band, use the direct_sa value. For storage subsystems that are managed in-band, use the host_sa value. |
-S (uppercase) | Suppresses informational messages describing the command progress that appear when you run script commands. (Suppressing informational
messages is also called silent mode.) This terminal suppresses these messages:
|
-s (lowercase) | Shows the alert settings in the configuration file when used with the -d terminal. |
-v | Shows the current global status of the known devices in a configuration file when used with the -d terminal. |
-w |
Specifies the WWID of the storage subsystem. This terminal is an alternate to the -n terminal. Use the -w terminal with the -d terminal to show the WWIDs of the known storage subsystems. The file content take this format: storage-system-name world-wide-ID IP-address1 IP-address2. |
-X (uppercase) | Deletes a storage subsystem from a configuration. |
-x (lowercase) | Removes an SNMP trap destination or an email address alert destination. The community is the SNMP community name for the trap, and the host is the IP address or DNS host name of the system to which you want the trap sent. |
-? | Shows usage information about the CLI commands. |
