ATTO Technology VT-Class CLI Interface via ASCII-based Commands, Ready, SaveConfiguration command

6.0 CLI: Interface via ASCII-based Commands

The command line interface (CLI) provides access to Diamond-VT services through a set of ASCII- based commands. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode or by accessing the Advanced CLI Configuration page in the ExpressNAV interface.

•CLI commands are context sensitive and generally follow a standard format:

[GetSet] Command [Parameter1Parameter2]

followed by the return or enter key

•CLI commands are not case sensitive: you may type all upper or all lower case or a mixture, no matter what the definition either in help or these pages states. Upper and lower case in this manual and the help screen are for clarification only.

•Commands generally have three types of operation: get, set and immediate as summarized in Exhibit 6.0-1.

The get form returns the value of a parameter or setting and is an informational command.

Responses to get commands are specified in the Results field for each command, followed by

Ready.

SaveConfiguration command or by using a

separate FirmwareRestart command. A number of set commands may be issued before the

SaveConfiguration command.

Responses to set commands are either an error message or Ready. *, which indicates a SaveConfiguration command is required.

Set commands which do not require a

SaveConfiguration command, defined as

immediate commands, are immediately implemented.

Responses to immediate commands are either an error message or Ready.

Note

Zone commands do not use the get, set forms. See Zones on page 51 for more information on how to use Zone commands.

The set form is an action that changes the value of a parameter or configuration setting. It may require a SaveConfiguration command and a system restart before changes are implemented. The restart can be accomplished as part of the

Symbols, typefaces and abbreviations used to indicate functions and elements of the command line interface used in this manual include those found in Exhibit 6.0-2.

Exhibit 6.0-1 Command Line Interface actions and responses

Set commands configure the Diamond-VT and display what you have changed after completing the task. Commands which require a SaveConfiguration command to complete their implementation will return Ready. *. Set commands which do not require a SaveConfiguration command are immediately implemented.

Get commands display information about the configuration of the Diamond-VT. Responses to get commands are specified in the Results field for each command, followed by Ready.

Screen messages, also called returns, may be either terse, with just the current information, or verbose, with labels and the current information. Default is verbose. If you want the terse mode, type set VerboseMode disabled.
