Statement data is in the form of attribute=value (such as raidLevel=5), an attribute name (such as batteryInstallDate), or an operation name (such as consistencyCheck). Script Command Synopsis Because you can use the script commands to define and manage the different aspects of a storage array (such as host topology, physical disk configuration, RAID controller module configuration, virtual disk definitions, and disk group definitions), the actual number of commands is extensive. The commands, however, fall into general categories that are reused when you apply the commands to the different aspects of a storage array. The following table lists the general form of the script commands and provides a definition of each command. Table 6. General Form of the Script Commands Command Syntax activate object {statement‑data} Description Sets up the environment so that an operation can take place or performs the operation if the environment is already correctly set up. autoConfigure storageArray{statement-data} Automatically creates a configuration based on parameters specified in the command. check object {statement‑data} Starts a synchronous operation to report on errors in the object. clear object {statement‑data} Discards the contents of some attribute of an object. This is a destructive operation that cannot be reversed. create object {statement‑data} deactivate object {statement‑data} delete object Creates an object of the specified type. Removes the environment for an operation. Deletes a previously created object. diagnose object {statement‑data} disable object {statement‑data} download object {statement‑data} Runs a test and displays the results. Prevents a feature from operating. Transfers data to the storage array or hardware associated with the storage array. enable object {statement‑data} recopy object {statement‑data} Allows a feature to operate. Restarts a virtual disk copy operation by using an existing virtual disk copy pair. You can change attributes before the operation is restarted. recover object {statement‑data} Re-creates an object from saved configuration data and the statement attributes (similar to the create command). recreate object {statement‑data} Restarts a snapshot operation using an existing snapshot virtual disk. You can change attributes before the operation is restarted. remove object {statement‑data} repair object {statement‑data} reset object {statement‑data} Removes a relationship from between objects. Repairs errors found by the check command. Returns the hardware or object to an initial state. 25

Statement data is in the form of
attribute=value
(such as
raidLevel=5
), an
attribute name
(such as
batteryInstallDate
), or
an
operation name
(such as
consistencyCheck
).
Script Command Synopsis
Because you can use the script commands to define and manage the different aspects of a storage array (such as host
topology, physical disk configuration, RAID controller module configuration, virtual disk definitions, and disk group
definitions), the actual number of commands is extensive. The commands, however, fall into general categories that are
reused when you apply the commands to the different aspects of a storage array.
The following table lists the general form of the script commands and provides a definition of each command.
Table 6. General Form of the Script Commands

Description
activate
object
