A-6-2-5 Format of the perf_findcmddev command
The perf_findcmddev command allows you to set the command device in the
perf_cmddev.properties file.
To execute this command, a user must have Administrator permissions (for Windows) or root
permissions (for Linux).
The format of the perf_findcmddev command is as follows:
• In Windows:
installation-folder-for-the-Device-Manager-agent\bin\perf_findcmddev {
view | verify | write [-file file-name] }
• In Linux:
installation-directory-for-the-Device-Manager-
agent/bin/perf_findcmddev { view | verify | write [-file file-name] }
The parameters for the perf_findcmddev command are described below.
If you specify no parameter, multiple parameters, or upper-case parameters, the method for
specifying the command is displayed.
view
This parameter displays the settings for the command devices currently defined in the
perf_cmddev.properties file. If an unrecognizable value is defined in the
perf_cmddev.properties file, that value is displayed as UNKNOWN. On lines where the
definition does not follow the proper format, all information is displayed as UNKNOWN. Comment
lines and blank lines are not displayed. In addition, if no value is specified in the
perf_cmddev.properties file, only the header is displayed.
The following example shows an example of output from the command.
Raid ID Serial# LDEV# Device file name
R500 14050 345 \\.\PhysicalDrive3
R601 44332 456 \\.\Volume{xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxx}
R501 UNKNOWN 1045 \\.\PhysicalDrive10
verify
This parameter compares the settings for the command devices defined in the file
perf_cmddev.properties to the settings for the command devices recognized by the host.
If the host recognizes multiple command devices, the execution result is output for each,
regardless of whether the checked settings are valid.
○ If the information of the command device defined in the perf_cmddev.properties file
matches the information of the command device recognized by the host, the following
message is displayed:
The definition of the command device is valid.
○ If the host does not recognize the command device defined in the
perf_cmddev.properties file:
The error message KAIC28615-W and information of the command device that is not
recognized by the host are displayed.
○ If the command device recognized by the host is not defined in the settings file:
The error message KAIC28616-W and information of the command device that is not
defined in the settings file are displayed.
write
This parameter outputs the settings of all command devices recognized by the host to the
perf_cmddev.properties file. If no command device recognized by the host is detected,
nothing is output to the perf_cmddev.properties file.
