Opening the CLI in Command mode
To use Command mode, identify the appropriate ACU CLI command ("

Using Linux:
[root@localhost root]# hpacucli help

mode.
CLI syntax
Whether entered in Command mode or Console mode, a typical ACU CLI command line consists of three
parts: a target device, a command, and a parameter with values if necessary. Using angle brackets to
denote a required variable and plain brackets to denote an optional variable, the structure of a typical
ACU CLI command line is as follows:
<target> <command> [parameter=value]
The <target> variable
This variable provides the path to the device that you want to configure. The device can be a controller,
an array, a logical drive, or a physical drive. The syntax used is as follows:
controller all | slot=# | wwn=# | chassisname="AAA" | serialnumber=# |
chassisserialnumber=# | [array=all|<id>] [logicaldrive all|#]
[physicaldrive all|allunassigned|[#:]#:#,[#:]#:#...|[#:]#:#-[#:]#:#]
For example:
controller slot=3
controller wwn=500805F3000BAC11
controller slot=2 array A
controller chassisname="A" array B logicaldrive 2
controller chassisname="A" physicaldrive 1:0
