Command Line Parameters Table 1-2. Command Line Parameters Parameter Definition host-name-or-IP-address Specify either the host name or the Internet Protocol (IP) address of an in-band managed storage array (IPv4 or iPv6) or an out-of-band managed storage array (IPv4 only). • If you manage a storage array by using a host connected directly to the storage array (in-band storage management), you must use the -n parameter if more than one storage array is connected to the host. • If you manage a storage array through an Ethernet connection (out-of-band storage management), you must specify the host-name-or-IP-address of the redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller modules. • If you have previously configured a storage array in the graphical user interface (GUI) of the MD Storage Manager, you can specify the storage array by its user-supplied name by using the -n parameter. -A Use to add a storage array to the configuration files. If you do not follow the -A parameter with a host-name-or-IP-address, automatic discovery scans the local subnet for storage arrays. -a Use to add an SNMP trap destination or an email address alert destination. • When adding an SNMP trap destination, the SNMP community is automatically defined as the community name for the trap and the host is the IP address or Domain Name Server (DNS) host name of the system to which the trap should be sent. • When adding an email address for an alert destination, the email-address is the email address to which to send the alert message. 18 About the Command Line Interface

About the Command Line Interface
Command Line Parameters
Table 1-2.
Command Line Parameters
Parameter
Definition
host-name-or-IP-address
Specify either the host name or the Internet Protocol (IP)
address of an in-band managed storage array (IPv4 or iPv6)
or an out-of-band managed storage array (IPv4 only).
If you manage a storage array by using a host connected
directly to the storage array (in-band storage
management), you must use the
-n
parameter if more
than one storage array is connected to the host.
If you manage a storage array through an Ethernet
connection (out-of-band storage management), you
must specify the
host-name-or-IP-address
of the
redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller
modules.
If you have previously configured a storage array in the
graphical user interface (GUI) of the MD Storage
Manager, you can specify the storage array by its
user-supplied name by using the
-n
parameter.
-A
Use to add a storage array to the configuration files. If you
do not follow the
-A
parameter with a
host-name-or-IP-address
, automatic discovery scans the
local subnet for storage arrays.
-a
Use to add an SNMP trap destination or an email address
alert destination.
When adding an SNMP trap destination, the SNMP
community is automatically defined as the community
name for the trap and the
host
is the IP address or
Domain Name Server (DNS) host name of the system to
which the trap should be sent.
When adding an email address for an alert destination,
the
email-address
is the email address to which to send
the alert message.
