Parameter -x (lowercase) -? Definition array configuration and the relationship between the devices. Use the configuration file to reconstruct a storage array). Use to remove an SNMP trap destination or an e-mail address alert destination. The community is the SNMP community name for the trap, and the host is the IP address or DNS host name of the system to which you want the trap sent. Use this parameter to display usage information about the CLI commands. Formatting Considerations Quotation marks (" ") used as part of a name or label require special consideration when you run the CLI and script commands on a Microsoft Windows operating system. The following explains the use of quotation marks in names while running CLI and script commands on Windows. When quotation marks (" ") are part of an argument, you must insert a backslash (\) before each quotation mark character unless you are in interactive mode. For example: -c "set storageArray userLabel=\"Engineering\";" where, Engineering is the storage array name. You cannot use quotation marks (" ") as part of a character string (also called string literal) within a script command. For example, you cannot enter the following string to set the storage array name to "Finance"Array: -c "set storageArray userLabel= \"\"Finance\"Array\";" On a Linux operating system, the delimiters around names or labels are single quotation marks (' '). The Linux versions of the previous examples are: -c 'set storageArray userLabel="Engineering";' Detailed Error Reporting Error data collected from an error encountered by the CLI is written to a file. Detailed error reporting under the CLI works as follows: • If the CLI must abnormally end execution or abort script command execution, error data is collected and saved before the CLI aborts. • The CLI automatically saves the error data by writing the data to a file with a standard name. • The CLI does not have any provisions to avoid overwriting an existing version of the file containing error data. For error processing, errors appear as two types: • Parameter or syntax errors you might enter • Exceptions that occur as a result of an operational error When the CLI encounters either type of error, it writes information describing the error directly to the command line and sets a return code. Depending on the return code, the CLI might also write additional information about which parameter caused the error. The CLI also writes information about what command syntax was expected to help you identify any syntax errors you might have entered. 18
