Chapter 1. Introduction to the 3ware Command Line Interface
Outputting the CLI to a Text File
You can have the output of the 3ware CLI, including errors, sent to a text file by adding 2>&1 to the end of the line. This could be useful, for example, if you want to email the output to AMCC Technical Support.
Examples
tw_cli /c2/p0 show >> controller2port0info.txt 2>&1
or
tw_cli /c0 show diag >> Logfile.txt 2>&1
Conventions
The following conventions are used through this guide:
•In text, monospace font is used for code and for things you type.
•In descriptions and explanations of commands, a bold font indicates the name of commands and parameters, for example, /c0/p0 show all.
•In commands, an italic font indicates items that are variable, but that you must specify, such as a controller ID, or a unit ID, for example, /c0/p0 show attribute, and /cx/px show all
•In commands, brackets around an item indicates that it is optional.
•In commands, ellipses (...) indicate that more than one parameter at a time can be included, for example, /c0/p0 show attribute [attribute ...], or that there is a range between two values from which you can pick a value, for example, /cx set carvesize=[1024...2048].
•In commands, a vertical bar () indicates an 'or' situation where the user has a choice between more than one attribute, but only one can be specified.
Example: In the command to rescan all ports and reconstitute all units, the syntax appears as /cx rescan [noscan]. The brackets [ ] indicate that you may omit the noscan parameter, so that the operation will be reported to the operating system.
