Command syntax Keywords and parameters Command keywords must be entered in lowercase. Parameter values can be entered in uppercase and lowercase. Unless otherwise specified, a parameter value can include any valid UTF-8 characters except backslash (\), comma, double quote ("), and control characters. A parameter value that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes. Parameters such as names of users and volumes have a maximum length in bytes. ASCII characters are 1 byte; most Latin (Western European) characters with diacritics are 2 bytes; most Asian characters are 3 bytes. Parameters can be entered in any order. However, if the value of a parameter with no keyword is the same as the keyword of an optional parameter, the optional parameter must precede the value. For example, to create a vdisk named spare, the spare parameter must precede the name value spare: create vdisk level raid5 disks 1.10-12 spare 1.7 spare Disks Disks are specified by enclosure ID and slot number. Enclosure IDs increment from 1. Disk IDs increment from 1 in each enclosure. You can specify: • A disk. Example: 1.4 • A hyphenated range of disks. Example: 1.4-7 • A comma-separated list of individual disks, ranges, or both (with no spaces). Example: 1.4,1.6-9 • A RAID 10 or 50 vdisk, with disks in sub-vdisks separated by colons (with no spaces). RAID-50 example: 1.1-3:1.4-6:1.7,1.10-11 Vdisks You can specify: • A vdisk by its name or serial number. A unique serial number is automatically assigned when a vdisk is created, and does not change for the life of the vdisk. • A list of vdisk names or serial numbers separated by commas (with no spaces). Not all commands support lists. List example: vd1,"My vdisk" Volumes You can specify: • A volume by its name or serial number. A unique serial number is automatically assigned when a volume is created, and does not change for the life of the volume. • A list of volume names or serial numbers separated by commas (with no spaces). Not all commands support lists. List example: vd1_v1,"Vol #1" Ports Controller host ports are specified by controller ID and port number, and are not case sensitive. Controller IDs are A for the upper controller and B for the lower controller. Port IDs increment from 1 in each controller module. You can specify: • A port ID. Example: A1 • A hyphenated range of IDs. Do not mix controller IDs in a range. Example: b1-b2 • A comma-separated list of IDs, ranges, or both (with no spaces). Example: A1,b1-b2 HP StorageWorks 2000 G2 Modular Smart Array CLI Reference Guide 19
