The commands specified in the batch file are executed

together.

For example usages of this option, see “Using batch

files to execute commands” on page 334.

You cannot specify this option together with either the

-i (or --input) option or the -f (or --format)

option.

You can create a user ID and password using the GUI.

Either an absolute path or a relative path can be specified for the file path.

If you execute a command other than the Help function by specifying a login user ID but not

specifying the login password for the option or property, a message appears prompting you to

enter the login password.

If you specify csv with the -f (or --format) option as one of the parameters for the GetStor-

ageArray command, there are some parameters that you cannot specify. For details about the

parameters that you cannot specify when -f csv is specified, see “Outputting execution results

in CSV format” on page 365.

The parameters that form the input to a command are specified from the command line as name/value

pairs. The parameter name is specified first, then the equal sign and the parameter value, as follows:

ipaddress=192.168.2.2

Whenever a parameter value requires one or more space characters, double quotes can be used to

enclose the parameter value, as follows:

description="Our Newest Array"

Each command might have required parameters, optional parameters, or both, and you can specify

any parameter in the application's properties file. If a parameter is specified both from the command

line and in the properties file, the value from the command line is used.
