These commands configure the System controls.

Command Argument Description
shutdown system For example: shutdown system Shuts the system down.
get system

cli get -x system
Gets the auto shutdown
information.
set system -f/--fansensors <on/off>
-t/--tempsensors <on/off>
-x/--xml
Sets the fan sensors or temperature
sensors on or off for autoshutdown
(only temperature supported at this
release).
reboot system Reboots the system.

Volume and Snapshot Commands

These commands manage the way Containers, Volumes and Snapshots are created, or expanded. While so me

of these commands are specific to either NAS or iSCSI volumes, most will work in both types of volumes.

Command Argument Description
create volume -t/--type {container}
-c/--containername<containername>
-k/--chunksize< {64} in KB>
-l/--ldname<logical device name> .....
For example: create –t container –c c0 –k 64 –l
/dev/md2 volume (1U)
For example: create –t container –c c0 –k 64 –l
/dev/sdb volume (3U)
Creates a container.
Note:
The chunk size should be 64K
The device name should be in the
form /dev/mdx or /dev/sdx where x
can be 0,1,2,3…
create volume -t/--type { volume }
-c/--containername <containername>
-v/--volumename <volumename>
-z/--volumesize <volumesize in GB>
-k/-- <chunksize {64 or 8} in KB }><volumesize>
-p/--provisiontype< provisiontype {0/1/2} >
-e/--volumetype <volumetype
{0} >
-f/--voldialect <volumedialect
{0/1} >

For example:

create -t volume -c Cont0 -v
AutoNas -k 64 -z 20 -e 0 -p 2 -f 1 volume
Creates a Volume.
Note:
1)volumetype ([0]-ROW
2) voldialect ([[0]-ISCSI [1]-NAS)

3)provisiontype ([0]-Thin [1]-

Exact

2 – Auto(Nas Only)
As a best practice measure, it is
recommended that 20% of
container capacity be reserved (left
free) for snapshots.
create volume -t/--type {snap}
-c/--containername <containername>
-v/--volumename <volumename>
-s/--snapname <snapname>
For example: create –t snap –c c0 –v v0 –s snap00
volume
Creates a read-only Snapshot.
Note: A total of 254 read-only
Snapshot can be created per
volume. And the total number of
snapshots (read-only + writable) is
992 per iTX device.
create volume -t/--type {snap}
-c/--containername <containername>
-v/--volumename <volumename>
-s/--snapname <snapname>
-w/--writablesnapname<writablesnapname >
For example: create –t snap –c c0 –v v0 –s snap00
–w wsnap00 volume
Creates a writable Snapshot over a
read-only snapshot.
Note: A total of 254 writable
Snapshot can be created per
volume. But the total number of
snapshots (read-only + writable)
should be 992 per iTX device.
create volume -t/--type { snap }
-c/--containername <containername>
-v/--volumename <volumename>
-s/--snapname <snapname>
-R/--remotesnap
Creates a snapshot on the local
target as well as the remote target if
the volume is replication enabled.
If only –R is given, only the remote
snapshot is created. If only –L is
