Using CLI Character Case and White Space The CLI is not case-sensitive. Commands and parameters can be typed using any combination of upper and lower case letters1. All IQNs, iSCSI Aliases, and initiator names must be entered in lowercase letters. Commands and parameters are separated with one or more spaces and/or tab characters (white space). White space at the start and end of a command line is ignored. If a white space character has to be entered as part of a parameter, enclose the parameter in a pair of quotes (" "). Everything between the quotes, including any enclosed white space, is used as the parameter (the quotes are not used as part of the parameter). Command Completion and Abbreviation You can request a command completion at any time by pressing the Tab key. Note: When using the Tab key in the middle of typing a command, there must be a preceding the tab. No preceding is required if you are using a tab at the beginning of a command. If, after considering what has been typed on the line up to the tab, there is only one word that can legally be entered, that word is added to the end of the line. In cases where several words can be entered, these are listed and the line redisplayed. If these words have a common root, it is added to the line. If there are no words that can be legally added, pressing the Tab key causes a beeping sound and the line is left unchanged. Sometimes, the complete list of options cannot be printed, such as with a range of numbers, or a class of objects. In this case, a description enclosed in < > is shown (e.g. ). 1 There may be a few exceptions, such as file names, where case is significant. 8-5
