SoulAPI Version: 6.0.15.0
InfoManager Version: 6.1.14.0
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
53
)
•
An ACU CLI keyword or keyword abbreviation ("
Keyword abbreviations
" on page
54
)
•
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 controller
produces
extensive information, while
help controller remove
restricts the help output to information about how
the
remove
command applies to controllers.
Typical procedures
The following sections describe some common ACU CLI procedures.
Setting the boot controller
This procedure is only available in the offline environment.
The boot controller is the first controller that the system examines (after power up) to find a bootable logical
drive or volume. To work properly, the boot controller must have a designated boot volume. See "Setting the
boot volume (on page
57
)."
Syntax:
<target> modify [bootcontroller=enable|disable]
where
<target>
is a controller with a volume that can be set as the boot volume.
Example command:
controller slot=1 modify bootcontroller=enable
Setting the boot volume
This procedure is only available in the offline environment.
The boot volume is the volume that contains the OS and its support files. To work properly, the boot volume
must be accessible by the designated boot controller. See "Setting the boot controller (on page
57
)."
Syntax:
<target> modify [bootvolume=primary|secondary|none]
where
<target>
is a controller and a logical drive.
Example commands:
controller slot=1 ld 1 modify bootvolume=primary
controller slot=1 ld 2 modify bootvolume=secondary
