Introduction Parameter Although some commands have optional parameters, parameters are usually mandatory. You must place optional parameters after mandatory parameters at the end of the command. For example, the array remove failover command has one required scsi_device parameter and additional optional scsi_device parameters: array remove failover {array} {scsi_device} [{scsi_device}...]. As with switch values, parameters can be of only one type. For example, the array parameter can take only an integer value. All parameters are separated by blank space. A space can be used in a parameter only within a quoted string. Blank Space Blank space is one or more spaces or tabs. Parameter and Switch Value Types A parameter or switch value can be only one of several types. Simple value types include string, Boolean, and integer. Other value types include objects that can be manipulated, such as arrays (or arrays) and SCSI devices. This section explains the CLI parameter and switch value types. Boolean A boolean has a value of either TRUE or FALSE and can be specified with any of the following key words: I TRUE can be specified with TRUE, 1, ON, or YES. For switches, you can also specify TRUE by using the switch without any switch value. For example, /readonly and /readonly=TRUE are identical. I FALSE can be specified with FALSE, 0, OFF, or NO. When a switch is not specified, it takes the default value (usually, FALSE) specified in the switch description section of a command. For example, open aac0 is the same as open /readonly=FALSE aac0. 1-7

Introduction
Parameter
Although some commands have optional parameters,
parameters
are usually mandatory. You must place optional parameters after
mandatory parameters at the end of the command. For example,
the
array remove failover
command has one required
scsi_device
parameter and additional optional
scsi_device
parameters:
array remove failover {array}
{scsi_device} [{scsi_device}...]
.
As with switch values, parameters can be of only
one
type. For
example, the
array
parameter can take only an integer value.
All parameters are separated by blank space. A space can be used
in a parameter only within a quoted string.
Blank Space
Blank space
is one or more spaces or tabs.
Parameter and Switch Value Types
A parameter or switch value can be only one of several types.
Simple value types include string, Boolean, and integer. Other
value types include objects that can be manipulated, such as arrays
(or arrays) and SCSI devices. This section explains the CLI
parameter and switch value types.
Boolean
A
boolean
has a value of either
TRUE
or
FALSE
and can be specified
with any of the following key words:
TRUE
can be specified with
TRUE
,
1
,
ON
, or
YES
. For switches,
you can also specify
TRUE
by using the switch without any
switch value. For example,
/readonly
and
/readonly=TRUE
are identical.
FALSE
can be specified with
FALSE
,
0
,
OFF
, or
NO
. When a
switch is not specified, it takes the default value (usually,
FALSE
) specified in the switch description section of a
command. For example,
open
aac0
is the same as
open
/readonly=FALSE
aac0
.
