The utility does not parse the entire command line before starting an operation. Operations are performed in series up to the first failure encountered. If the utility does not have all of the information necessary when it attempts to perform an action, reports an error. The utility can partially succeed. That is, it was able to perform the first n actions, then encountered something it could not do. In this case, the utility will exit with an appropriate error message. Each operation attempted results in a one-line pass or fail indicator displayed on the screen unless the Quiet mode is specified. In general, you can perform multiple operations on one command line. However, make sure you are aware of the groupings and restrictions to ensure that the functions are carried out correctly. 4-1

RAIDUTIL Command Line
Utility
In this Chapter
Introduction
The command line utility (RAIDUTIL) performs operations as soon
as it has enough information from the command line to do so. The
utility does not parse the entire command line before starting an
operation. Operations are performed in series up to the first failure
encountered.
If the utility does not have all of the information necessary when it
attempts to perform an action, reports an error. The utility can
partially succeed. That is, it was able to perform the first
n
actions,
then encountered something it could not do. In this case, the utility
will exit with an appropriate error message. Each operation
attempted results in a one-line pass or fail indicator displayed on the
screen unless the Quiet mode is specified.
In general, you can perform multiple operations on one command
line. However, make sure you are aware of the groupings and
restrictions to ensure that the functions are carried out correctly.
