[Optional] -async Perform asynchronous operation Manage SSL certificates When logging in to the system through PowerStore CLI, the system uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates to secure communications between the CLI client and the system. You can manage these certificates and configure a policy for the PowerStore CLI to use when receiving unknown certificates. All downloaded certificates are stored in the secure, local lockbox on the client system. Save PowerStore CLI settings explains how settings are saved. View the switches The PowerStore CLI switches apply only to your installed PowerStore CLI client. Use the switches to access a system, upload files to the system, and manage security certificates. Format pstcli [{-help|-h|-?}] Switches -destination|-d -port -user|-u -password|-p -ssl_policy|-ssl -cert_list -cert_clear -cert_del IP (IPv4 or IPv6) address or network name of the destination system. If you do not include this switch, the client uses the addresses that are specified for -default. Port number on the system. Username for logging in to the system. Password for logging in to the system. Policy for handling unknown SSL certificates downloaded from the system. Value is one of the following: • interactive - Prompt the user to accept the certificates for the current session (default). • reject - Automatically reject the certificates. • accept - Automatically accept the certificates. • store - Automatically accept and store the certificates. List of all certificates stored locally in the lockbox. Delete all certificates stored locally in the lockbox. Delete one or more certificates from the lockbox. Type a comma-separated list of certificate IDs. NOTE: Use -cert_list to view a list of stored certificates with their IDs. -help|-h|-? Display information about the syntax and switches, a list of command categories available on the target system, and information about getting further help on specific topics. -save_cred Save the access credentials that are specified for the -user and -password switches to a local security file in the lockbox. With the access credentials saved, PowerStore CLI automatically applies them to the specified system destination and port pair each time you run a command. Save PowerStore CLI settings explains saving user account credentials to the local client system. -remove_cred Remove the specified user account from the lockbox. -remove_all_creds Remove all user accounts from the lockbox. -default Save the destination, port pair, and SSL policy as defaults. You can use the -default switch with the -destination, port, or -ssl_policy switches, or with any combination of those switches. The saved SSL policy applies to the client for all destinations. Also, you can update the destination and port separately. Save PowerStore CLI settings explains saving user account credentials to the local client system. -header Show the header message (system IP address, port number, and so on), which is hidden by default, above the command output. -v|-version Display the version of your PowerStore CLI.

[Optional] -async
Perform asynchronous operation
Manage SSL certificates
When logging in to the system through PowerStore CLI, the system uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates to secure
communications between the CLI client and the system. You can manage these certificates and configure a policy for the PowerStore CLI
to use when receiving unknown certificates. All downloaded certificates are stored in the secure, local lockbox on the client system.
Save
PowerStore CLI settings
explains how settings are saved.
View the switches
The PowerStore CLI switches apply only to your installed PowerStore CLI client. Use the switches to access a system, upload files to the
system, and manage security certificates.
Format
pstcli [{-help|-h|-?}]
Switches
-destination|-d
IP (IPv4 or IPv6) address or network name of the destination system. If you do not include this switch, the client
uses the addresses that are specified for -default.
-port
Port number on the system.
-user|-u
Username for logging in to the system.
-password|-p
Password for logging in to the system.
-ssl_policy|-ssl
Policy for handling unknown SSL certificates downloaded from the system. Value is one of the following:
interactive — Prompt the user to accept the certificates for the current session (default).
reject — Automatically reject the certificates.
accept — Automatically accept the certificates.
store — Automatically accept and store the certificates.
-cert_list
List of all certificates stored locally in the lockbox.
-cert_clear
Delete all certificates stored locally in the lockbox.
-cert_del
Delete one or more certificates from the lockbox. Type a comma-separated list of certificate IDs.
NOTE:
Use -cert_list to view a list of stored certificates with their IDs.
-help|-h|-?
Display information about the syntax and switches, a list of command categories available on the target system,
and information about getting further help on specific topics.
-save_cred
Save the access credentials that are specified for the -user and -password switches to a local security file in the
lockbox. With the access credentials saved, PowerStore CLI automatically applies them to the specified system
destination and port pair each time you run a command.
Save PowerStore CLI settings
explains saving user
account credentials to the local client system.
-remove_cred
Remove the specified user account from the lockbox.
-remove_all_creds
Remove all user accounts from the lockbox.
-default
Save the destination, port pair, and SSL policy as defaults. You can use the -default switch with the -destination, -
port, or -ssl_policy switches, or with any combination of those switches. The saved SSL policy applies to the client
for all destinations. Also, you can update the destination and port separately.
Save PowerStore CLI settings
explains saving user account credentials to the local client system.
-header
Show the header message (system IP address, port number, and so on), which is hidden by default, above the
command output.
-v|-version
Display the version of your PowerStore CLI.
