Hiding warning prompts
When you enter a command for an operation that can potentially destroy user data, the CLI displays a
warning and prompts you for input (a
y
or an
n
) before continuing the operation. This situation is
undesirable when running batch file scripts. To prevent warning prompts from being displayed, use the
term
forced
as a parameter.
Example command:
ctrl ch="Lab4" ld 1 delete forced
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:
Available options are:
8
16 (current value)
32
64
128 (default)
256
For information about which parameters can be queried, refer to the CLI help ("
Help
" on page
46
).
Help
To get help with the CLI, enter
help
at the CLI prompt as follows:
=> help
This command does not need a target variable or a parameter.
