American Megatrends MAN-STOR-ITX27-CLI System Control Configuration, Volume and Snapshot Commands

System Control Configuration

These commands configure the System controls.

Command	Argument	Description
shutdown system	For example: shutdown system	Shuts the system down.
get system	For example: cli get -x system	Gets the auto shutdown
		information.
set system	-f/--fansensors <on/off>	Sets the fan sensors or temperature
	-t/--tempsensors <on/off>	sensors on or off for autoshutdown
	-x/--xml	(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 some 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}	Creates a container.
	-c/--containername<containername>	Note:
	-k/--chunksize< {64} in KB>	The chunk size should be 64K
	-l/--ldname<logical device name>	The device name should be in the
	For example: create –t container –c c0 –k 64 –l	form /dev/mdx or /dev/sdx where x
	/dev/md2 volume (1U)	can be 0,1,2,3…
	For example: create –t container –c c0 –k 64 –l
	/dev/sdb volume (3U)
create volume	-t/--type { volume }	Creates a Volume.
	-c/--containername <containername>	Note:
	-v/--volumename <volumename>	1)volumetype ([0]-ROW
	-z/--volumesize <volumesize in GB>
	-k/-- <chunksize {64 or 8} in KB }><volumesize>	2) voldialect ([[0]-ISCSI [1]-NAS)
	-p/--provisiontype< provisiontype {0/1/2} >
	-e/--volumetype <volumetype	3)provisiontype ([0]-Thin [1]-
	{0} >	Exact 2 – Auto(Nas Only)
	-f/--voldialect <volumedialect
	{0/1} >	As a best practice measure, it is
	For example: create -t volume -c Cont0 -v	recommended that 20% of
	AutoNas -k 64 -z 20 -e 0 -p 2 -f 1 volume	container capacity be reserved (left
		free) for snapshots.
create volume	-t/--type {snap}	Creates a read-only Snapshot.
	-c/--containername <containername>	Note: A total of 254 read-only
	-v/--volumename <volumename>	Snapshot can be created per
	-s/--snapname <snapname>	volume. And the total number of
	For example: create –t snap –c c0 –v v0 –s snap00	snapshots (read-only + writable) is
	volume	992 per iTX device.
create volume	-t/--type {snap}	Creates a writable Snapshot over a
	-c/--containername <containername>	read-only snapshot.
	-v/--volumename <volumename>	Note: A total of 254 writable
	-s/--snapname <snapname>	Snapshot can be created per
	-w/--writablesnapname<writablesnapname >	volume. But the total number of
	For example: create –t snap –c c0 –v v0 –s snap00	snapshots (read-only + writable)
	–w wsnap00 volume	should be 992 per iTX device.
create volume	-t/--type { snap }	Creates a snapshot on the local
	-c/--containername <containername>	target as well as the remote target if
	-v/--volumename <volumename>	the volume is replication enabled.
	-s/--snapname <snapname>	If only –R is given, only the remote
	-R/--remotesnap	snapshot is created. If only –L is
