HP Workstation xw6000 Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S: Software Reference Guide - Page 34

Adaptec SCSI RAID Software Reference Guide Value A value is a type that applies to a switch. For each switch, you can have only one type of value. For example, a switch that is defined as a string value can never take an integer value. A space may be used within a value only within a quoted string. Examples of valid value types include Boolean, integer, string, scsi_device, free_space, and array. You delimit a value that applies to a switch by using an equal sign, as in the following example: AAC0>disk list /all =TRUE Executing: disk list /all=TRUE Note that a space to the left or right of the equal sign is permitted. Parameter Although some commands have optional parameters, parameters are usually mandatory. You must place optional parameters after mandatory parameters at the end of the command. For example, the array remove failover command has one required scsi_device parameter and additional optional scsi_device parameters: array remove failover {array} {scsi_device} [{scsi_device}...]. As with switch values, parameters can be of only one type. For example, the array parameter can take only an integer value. All parameters are separated by blank space. A space can be used in a parameter only within a quoted string. Blank Space Blank space is one or more spaces or tabs. CLI Parameter and Switch Value Types A parameter or switch value can be only one of several types. Simple value types include string, Boolean, and integer. Other value types include objects that can be manipulated, such as arrays (or arrays) and SCSI devices. This section explains the CLI parameter and switch value types. 3-4
