Search Option Parameter --type Abbr. -t Argument volume-type Description Search by type of Smart Copy: either clone, replica, snapshot, or thinclone. NOTE: The search option does not apply to the restore smartcopy command. --volume none volume-name Search by the source volume name. By default ASM/LE performs a caseinsensitive glob search and matches any string if you enter multiple strings. You can combine search options to narrow down a long list of Smart Copies. For example: asmcli list smart-copy --collection accounting --mounted You can also identify the oldest mounted Smart Copy for that collection as follows: asmcli list smart-copy --collection accounting --mounted --earliest Creating and Managing Group Access Files Authentication files contain two-way encrypted user names and passwords for administrative accounts on PS Series groups. These credentials are used by ASM/LE to connect to PS Series groups when needed to support ASM/LE functions, such as Smart Copy creation. When you create a group access file, ASMCLI does not require that you specify the group name, administrator name, and password each time you create the Smart Copy. NOTE: When creating an administrator identity on the PS Series group, you can avoid using group administrator credentials by establishing pool or volume administrators.

Search Option
Parameter
Abbr.
Argument
Description
--type
-t
volume-type
Search by type of Smart Copy: either
clone
,
replica
,
snapshot
, or
thinclone
.
NOTE:
The search option does not apply to the
restore smart-
copy
command.
--volume
none
volume-name
Search by the source volume name. By default ASM/LE performs a case-
insensitive
glob
search and matches any string if you enter multiple strings.
You can combine search options to narrow down a long list of Smart Copies. For example:
asmcli list smart-copy --collection accounting --mounted
You can also identify the oldest mounted Smart Copy for that collection as follows:
asmcli list smart-copy --collection accounting --mounted --earliest
Creating and Managing Group Access Files
Authentication files contain two-way encrypted user names and passwords for administrative accounts on PS Series groups. These
credentials are used by ASM/LE to connect to PS Series groups when needed to support ASM/LE functions, such as Smart Copy
creation. When you create a group access file, ASMCLI does not require that you specify the group name, administrator name, and
password each time you create the Smart Copy.
NOTE:
When creating an administrator identity on the PS Series group, you can avoid using group administrator
credentials by establishing pool or volume administrators. See the
Dell EqualLogic Group Manager Administrators Guide
for information on setting up pool and volume administration credentials.
