A complete command must include both a command- verb and a command-noun. For example, asmcli create smart-copy includes the verb create and the noun smart-copy. • When entering a command verb or noun, type the entire command-verb followed by a tab for ASMCLI to display all applicable noun commands. Enter part of any command followed by two tabs and ASMCLI, using Bash command completion, for a list of applicable options.

Introduction to ASMCLI
ASMCLI presents commands that enable you to create and manage:
•
Smart Copies that consist of snapshots, clones, or replicas. These commands also enable you to list, mount/unmount, log in/log out,
and restore data from Smart Copies.
•
Smart Copy collections that contain snapshots, clones, or replicas
•
Group access file for storing PS Series group authentication information
•
Smart Copy schedules
For conceptual information about these features, see
Introduction to ASM/LE
.
Entering ASMCLI Commands
Commands are executed from the Linux command prompt in one of two ways:
•
Manually typing the command, using command help to see options that complete a command (see
General Command Syntax for
ASMCLI
and
Access Help on ASMCLI Commands
)
•
Using Bash command completion to interactively complete a command (see
Appendix C Bash Command Completion
)
General Command Syntax for ASMCLI
The general ASMCLI command syntax is as follows:
# asmcli command-verb command-noun [--parameter [argument]]
The following rules apply:
•
ASMCLI command syntax uses verb-noun pairs to form a complete command. A complete command must include both a command-
verb and a command-noun. For example,
asmcli create smart-copy
includes the verb
create
and the noun
smart-copy
.
•
When entering a command verb or noun, type the entire command-verb followed by a tab for ASMCLI to display all applicable noun
commands. Enter part of any command followed by two tabs and ASMCLI, using Bash command completion, for a list of applicable
options. For information, see
Appendix C Bash Command Completion
.
•
When specifying parameters, enter two hyphens followed by the parameter. Enter part of the parameter name followed by two tabs
and Bash command completion for a list of applicable parameters.
