HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.1 CLI Reference Guide (TB581-96051, May 2011)

FunctionVariable
Options control the behavior of the CLI application. Options are entered in the typical
UNIX fashion. Options are case sensitive. Each option has a single character
representation and an alternate word representation; for the single character, prefix the
character with a single dash; for the word, prefix the word with two dashes. For example:
-t or --messagetrace. Some options require an argument, which follows the option.
For example, the -u option is followed by a user ID. For details about the options that
can be used with the Device Manager CLI, see Table 3.
Some options can be specified in the properties file. When such options have been
specified in the properties file, you can omit them from the command line.
If you specify a parameter in the command line although the parameter has been
specified in the properties file, the value of the parameter specified in the command
line has precedence. For details about how to specify options, see “Using the properties
file to specify options” on page 358.
When the same parameter is specified multiple times, the value specified last is used.
options
Parameters that are passed to the server as part of a request. The required and optional
parameters depend on the command requested. Each parameter is represented as a
combination of a parameter name and a parameter value, such as parameter-name
= parameter-value. The parameter name is not case sensitive. If you want to specify
a value that includes spaces, enclose the value in double quotation marks ("), as in
hostmode="Windows Extension, Solaris Extension".
Unless otherwise noted in parameter descriptions, parameter values are case sensitive.
There are required parameters and optional parameters. If you omit a required
parameter, you cannot execute the command.
If you specify a parameter in the command line, although the parameter has been
specified in the properties file, the value of the parameter specified in the command
line has precedence.
When the same parameter is specified multiple times, the value specified last is used.
Some parameters cannot be used for some commands. For usable parameters, see
Chapter 4 on page 41.
