HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility reference (September 2005)

LS disk_group admin

Aliases

The utility commands recognize an alias, so you do not need to use full names except for LUN names.

Virtual disk exa mple

If you have \virtural_disks\my_virdisk\Active,youcanentermy_virdisk for the object. If

your object name contains spaces, the double quotes are mandatory.

Disk group example

If you have \Disk Groups\Default Disk Group,youcanenterDefault Disk Group for the object.

NOTE:

If you do not specify a full name, the utility checks to see if you are using an alias. However, LUNs need

to be speciﬁed with a full name. This is because LUNs are not uniquely identiﬁed by numb ers and several

different vi

rtual disks can have a LUN 1 presentation. In this instance, the full path name is required .

For example,

if you are specifying a LUN, you need to specify the full LUN name:

LS lun \Hosts

\MainServer\3

SET example

To specify a host without aliases:

SET host \Hosts\h1 name=h2

To specify a host with aliases:

set host h1 name=h2

Add snapshot ex ample

To add a snapshot without aliases:

add snapshot mysnap vdisk="\Virtual Disks\mydisk\ACTIVE"

To add a snapshot with aliases:

add snapshot mysnap2 vdisk=mydisk

Delete virtual disk example

delete vdisk "\Virtual Disks\mydisk\ACTIVE"
