1.2 Commands Commands cause some action to happen or a state to change. For example, the command createVolume creates a new volume and the command addInitiator adds an iSCSI initiator to the list of known initiators for an array. For a complete list of the commands available in the CLI, see Chapter 5. The CLI provides a special set of commands called global action commands. Global action commands indicate an action that you want to perform and precede other commands and properties on a command line. For example, the global action command Show can be used with the property Controllers to return information about an array's controller(s) from the System context: 192.168.59.25 :: show controller[a] ID = A Status = OK IsActive = true SlotNumber = 0 SerialNumber = 00001 DriveSlots = 12 NumFrontPorts = 8 DisplayName = Blade A SoftwareVersion = 2.5.1.21 IsAlternateSoftwareVersionPresent = true AlternateSoftwareVersion = 2.5.1.21 BoardType = 0009 BoardTypeRevision = XC05 I8kHwVersion = 1.0.0.0 I8kSwVersion = 0.1.0.0 MpuSwVersion = 2.5.1.21 BindFailReason = Bind_OK BladeHealth = Healthy BladeState = Bound BladeType = SFF PersistenceSetting = Unchanged BatteryState = Failed BufferMemDimmCnt = 2 BufferMemSize = 2048 SystemMemDimmCnt = 2 SystemMemSize = 512 SystemTime = 13:18:27 Ports = 8 Ports LAGs = 8 LAGs ManagementPort = ManagementPort [192.168.59.25], Status=OK BasePool = [BaseA], 2 disks You can also chain commands on a command line and have the CLI execute them in sequence by separating each command with a semicolon (;). The following command line, for example, tells the CLI to perform two Pop operations and then create a 30 GB volume named Engineering. Command Line Interface User's Guide 3
