Command Reference

Options Common to all Commands

Seven options are available on every command that is supported from the command line. These parameters are:

Parameter	Description
-I	Indicates command line options are to be read
	from stdin. The -Ioption provides the
	capability for the client to enter command
	options on the command line, in a text file, or a
	combination of both. When the -Ioption is
	specified, command options are first read from
	the command line. VolServ then reads any
	options from stdin.
	Example: cat optionfile > vsmount -I -u
	-pdrvpool2 instructs VolServ to first read
	the -uand -poptions entered on the
	command line and then to read the options
	from stdin (the contents of optionfile). If
	optionfile contains “-cclass1”, the
	command, as processed by VolServ, will look
	like “vsmount -u -p drvpool2 -c class1”
-h	Requests help for the entered command. The
	Help option returns the usage for the entered
	command, a copyright notice, and the version
	number of the CLI software. The Help option
	takes precedence over any other option
	entered on a command. When the Help option
	is specified, no command line processing is
	performed. An exit code of 0 is returned to the
	client when the Help option is specified.
-Hhostname	Host name of the VolServ server. The default
	host name is the host name of the computer
	where the CLI command is issued.
