4 Remote Setup Command Line Utility The Remote Setup Command Line Utility (also referred to as the Remote Setup CLI or RSWCLI) provides an alternative to using the Remote Setup Wizard. You can perform the same set of operations provided by the Remote Setup Wizard, except that the setup and configuration tasks are performed through commands executed at a Windows command prompt instead of the wizard. When you install the Remote Setup Wizard, the Remote Setup CLI is also installed. Topics: • General Command Syntax for the RSWCLI • Using RSWCLI Commands • Discover a PS Series Array • Initialize a PS Series Array • List or Modify MPIO Settings • List Included and Excluded Subnets for MPIO • Include a Subnet or Adapter for Use by MPIO • Exclude a Subnet or Adapter From Use By MPIO General Command Syntax for the RSWCLI The general command syntax is as follows: rswcli -subcommand required-parameter="argument" [‑optional_parameter...] The following constraints apply to the syntax: • -subcommand-Prefix subcommands with a dash (-). • "argument"-Italics indicate an argument variable, which requires quotation marks only when the argument variable contains an embedded space. • Optional parameters are enclosed in brackets ([]). • A vertical bar (|) indicates "or" in a sequential list of items. • Several parameters are mutually exclusive. If more than one of these parameters are specified, it is treated as an error and causes the command to fail. The command parser automatically ignores any redundant parameters. Getting Help on Commands To see all the available RSWCLI commands and their options, enter: rswcli -? For help on a specific command, enter: rswcli -sub_command -? For example: rswcli -Discover -?
