AMCC 9590SE-4ME manual Using an input file to execute a script, Outputting the CLI to a Text File

Working with 3ware CLI

Using an input file to execute a script

You can operate 3ware CLI scripts by executing a file. The file is a text file containing a list of CLI commands which you have entered in advance. Each command must be on a separate line.

Syntax

tw_cli -f <filename>

Where <filename> is the name of the text file you want to execute.

Example

tw_cli -f clicommand.txt

This example executes the file clicommand.txt, and runs the CLI commands included in that file.

Scripting example

Following is a a scripting example using a text file called config_unit.txt, containing three commands. This example sets up a 4-port controller with two units, each with 2 drives mirrored. It then prints the configurations for verification. The commands included in the script file are:

/c0 add type=raid1 disk=0-1 /c0 add type=raid1 disk=0-1 /c0 show

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
