Example In the following example for changing a role and password for a user account, the action qualifiers are -password, -current_password, and -role: pstcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u admin -p MyPassword456! local_user -name lab3_operator set -password NewPassword123! -current_password MyPassword456! -role administrator Size qualifiers Use size qualifiers to indicate a specific capacity-size value. In this case, 1 KB equals 1024 bytes. To specify a fraction, use a period. For example, type 2.4T for 2.4 terabytes. The output for a size value displays the exact number of bytes and the specified size value: Size = 1209462790557 (1.1TB) The following table lists the size qualifiers. The qualifiers are case-sensitive. Table 1.

This section explains each of these four action commands. PowerStore CLI command syntax explains the relationship between action commands, object types, and objects. The create action command The create action command creates an object on the system that is based on the specified object type. If the command is successful, the new object receives an object qualifier, or ID, that identifies the object on the system. Format create [] Example The following example uses the create action command to create a volume. The new volume receives the ID 12345: pstcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u admin -p MyPassword456! -header volume create -name test -size 819200000 NOTE: The following output shows the header because the -header switch is included in the command. By default, the header is not displayed: PowerStore system: 10.0.0.1 Timezone: Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-04:00) User: admin Created 1: id = 12345 8 Introduction
