For example, help ssp produces extensive information about SSP, while help ssp modify restricts the help output to information about how the modify command applies to SSP. Typical procedures The following sections describe some common ACU CLI procedures. Setting the target If you must perform several operations on a given target device, you can simplify the required commands by setting the device as the default for the CLI operations. After you have set the target, any command that you enter in the CLI without a specified is automatically applied to the set target. If you must also perform operations on other devices, you can still do so at any time by specifying the for each of those operations as usual. You can also change the set target or clear it completely. The set target is automatically cleared when you close the CLI. IMPORTANT: You cannot use the set target command in batch file scripts. Syntax: set target where is a controller, array, or logical drive. HP Array Configuration Utility 59

The help command
To get help with the CLI, enter
help
at the CLI prompt, and then enter one or more help items, as follows:
=> help <item1> [item2] [item3]
A help item can be any of the following:
•
A CLI command ("
The <command> variable
" on page
56
)
•
An ACU CLI keyword or keyword abbreviation ("
Keyword abbreviations
" on page
57
)
•
A CLI parameter
•
A term commonly used in ACU, such as migrate, extend, or cache
•
The word
shorthand
(gives a list of abbreviations for keywords in the CLI)
The help feature of the ACU CLI behaves like a browser search engine in that each item that you add to
the help input string reduces the amount of help output text. For example,
help ssp
produces extensive
information about SSP, while
help ssp modify
restricts the help output to information about how the
modify
command applies to SSP.
Typical procedures
The following sections describe some common ACU CLI procedures.
Setting the target
If you must perform several operations on a given target device, you can simplify the required commands
by setting the device as the default
<target>
for the CLI operations.
After you have set the target, any command that you enter in the CLI without a specified
<target>
is
automatically applied to the set target. If you must also perform operations on other devices, you can still
do so at any time by specifying the
<target>
for each of those operations as usual. You can also
change the set target or clear it completely. The set target is automatically cleared when you close the CLI.
IMPORTANT:
You cannot use the
set target
command in batch file scripts.
Syntax:
set target <target>
where
<target>
is a controller, array, or logical drive.
