The <target> variable
This variable provides the path to the device that you want to configure. The device can be a controller, an
array, a logical drive, or a physical drive. The syntax used is as follows:
controller all | slot=# | wwn=# | chassisname="AAA" | serialnumber=# |
chassisserialnumber=# | [array=all|<id>] [logicaldrive all|#]
[physicaldrive all|allunassigned|[#:]#:#,[#:]#:#...|[#:]#:#-[#:]#:#]
For example:
controller slot=3
controller wwn=500805F3000BAC11
controller slot=2 array A
controller chassisname="A" array B logicaldrive 2
controller chassisname="A" physicaldrive 1:0
controller all
controller slot=2 array all
controller slot=3 physicaldrive 1:2-1:5
The <command> variable
The
<command>
variable can be any of the following words or phrases, corresponding to typical
configuration tasks:
add
create
delete
modify
remove
set target
Nonconfiguration commands are also available:
diag
("
Generating a diagnostic report
" on page
53
)
help
("
The help command
" on page
51
)
rescan
("
Rescanning the system
" on page
54
)
shorthand
("
Keyword abbreviations
" on page
48
)
show
("
The show command
" on page
49
)
version ("
Displaying the current versions of the application layers
" on page
51
)
A command often requires a parameter, and some parameters require a value, but the specific parameters
and values that are valid for a given command depend on the target to which you apply the command.
To determine the valid parameters and values for a particular combination of target and command variables,
you can query the device ("
Querying a device
" on page
47
). You can also inspect the example commands
in other sections of this guide.
Querying a device
If you do not know what values a parameter can have, you can sometimes query the device to find out by
entering a
?
as the value of the parameter.
Example command:
=> ctrl ch="Lab4" ld 1 modify raid=0 ss=?
A typical screen response in this case could be:
