Overview of the CFL Extension
The CFL Extension enables users to perform operations on the storage system by entering commands
in the command line rather than using the Remote Web Console GUI. For the current microcode
version, LUN Expansion, Universal Replicator for Mainframe, and XP External Storage support CFL
Extension.
CFL Extension has the following advantages compared to the Remote Web Console GUI:
•
Batch processing
CFL Extension reduces the operation time because it does not involve any interactive user
operation. This benefits users when large-scale changes are required for the storage system.
•
Interoperability with other programs
CFL Extension provides the commands that allow you to:
◦
Save the storage system configuration in a CFL spreadsheet
◦
Change the storage system configuration by using a CFL spreadsheet
◦
Check a CFL spreadsheet before applying the configuration to the storage system
You can assemble these commands in your batch/script files, such as Windows batch files
or UNIX shell scripts.
•
Checking function
CFL Extension provides a checking command. If a CFL spreadsheet has an error, you can
easily find out the problem with the spreadsheet by looking at the checking results in the CFL
spreadsheet.
CFL Extension Operations
CFL Extension allows you to:
•
Configure the storage system by using a spreadsheet
•
Save the storage system configurations in spreadsheets
Figure 68 (page 120)
describes these operation procedures.
