"About the Script Commands" on page 29 presents an overview of the script commands. "Script Commands" on page 105 provides definitions, syntax, and parameters for the script commands. Usage Notes If you enter SMcli and a storage array name but do not specify CLI parameters, script commands, or a script file, the command line interface runs in interactive mode. Interactive mode enables you to run individual commands without prefixing the commands with SMcli. You can enter a single command, view the results, and enter the next command without typing the complete SMcli string. Interactive mode is useful for determining configuration errors and quickly testing configuration changes. If you enter SMcli without any parameters or with an incorrect parameter, the script engine returns usage information. NOTE: The SMcli command is installed under the client directory of the selected path during a management station install of the MD Storage Manager software. NOTE: The SMcli command should be a component of the system environment command path. About the Command Line Interface 15
