Generating a diagnostic report
Previously a function of the ADU CLI, diagnostic capability is now part of the ACU CLI.
The
diag
command outputs diagnostic information about a specified controller or all controllers on the
system.
Syntax:
<target> diag <file=filename> [ris=on|off] [xml=on|off] [zip=on|off]
where the following is designated:
<target>
is a controller or all controllers
<file=filename>
designates the target file in which the diagnostic information is saved
[ris=on|off]
determines whether RIS information is or is not included
[xml=on|off]
outputs diagnostic information in formatted XML
[zip=on|off]
compresses the output to a zipped file. Default behavior is uncompressed.
Example commands:
=> ctrl all diag file=c:\allcontrollers.txt xml=on
=> ctrl slot=4 diag file=c:\ctrl_slot4.txt ris=off zip=on
=> ctrl ch="mybox" diag file=mybox.txt ris=on xml=off zip=on
Erasing a physical or logical drive
Syntax:
<target> modify [erase
erasepattern=zero|random_zero|random_random_zero][deleteaftererase=yes|n
o]
where the target can be any valid physical drive or logical drive. The option to delete the target after
erasing it is valid only if the target is a logical drive.
To stop an erase process at any time, enter the
stoperase
command.
Example commands:
=> ctrl slot=3 ld 2 modify erase erasepattern=zero
=> ctrl slot=4 ld=all modify erase erasepattern=random_zero
=> ctrl slot=3 ld 2 modify stoperase
Rescanning the system
A rescan detects devices that have been added to the system since the previous rescan or since the ACU
CLI was started, whichever is more recent.
Syntax:
Use the word
rescan
directly at the ACU CLI prompt, without any target device or parameters.
Example command:
=> rescan
