5.5 Command Line Interface Use and Guidance

The command line interface (CLI) provides access to Diamond Storage Array services through a set of ASCII-based commands. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode or through the Advanced CLI page in the ExpressNAV interface.

•CLI commands are context sensitive and generally follow a standard format

[Get Set] Command [Parameter 1 Parameter 2]

followed by the return or enter key

•CLI commands are not case sensitive: you may type all upper or all lower case or a mixture, no matter what the definition either in Help or these pages states. Upper and lower case in this manual and the help screen are for clarification only.

•Commands generally have three types of operation: get, set and immediate as summarized below.

The get form returns the value of a parameter or setting and is an informational command.

Responses to get commands are specified in the Results field for each command, followed by

Ready.

The set form is an action that changes the value of a parameter or configuration setting. It may

Command Line Interface actions and responses

require a SaveConfiguration command and a system restart before changes are implemented. The restart can be accomplished as part of the SaveConfiguration command or by using a separate FirmwareRestart command. A number of set commands may be issued before the SaveConfiguration command.

Responses to set commands are either an error message or Ready. *, which indicates a SaveConfiguration command is required.

Set commands which do not require a SaveConfiguration command, defined as Immediate commands, are immediately implemented.

Responses to Immediate commands are either an error message or Ready.

Symbols, typefaces and abbreviations used to indicate functions and elements of the command line interface used in this manual are listed below.

Set commands configure the Diamond Storage Array and display what you have changed after completing the task. Commands which require a SaveConfiguration command to complete their implementation will return Ready. *. Set commands which do not require a SaveConfiguration command are immediately implemented.

Get commands display information about the configuration of the Diamond Storage Array. Responses to get commands are followed by Ready.

Screen messages, also called returns, may be either terse, with just the current information, or verbose, with labels and the current information. Default is verbose.
