Command Line Interface Reference Guide
CLI
Command Line Interface. A command line entry utility used to interface with the HS-series
controllers. CLI enables the configuration and monitoring of a storage subsystem through
textual commands.
coax or
coaxial cable
A two-conductor wire in which one conductor completely wraps the other with the two
separated by insulation.
code-load code-patch utility

computer interconnect bus
See CI bus
configuration file
A file that contains a representation of a storage subsystem configuration.
container
Any entity that is capable of storing data, whether it is a physical device or a group of
physical devices. (2) A virtual, internal controller structure representing either a single disk
or a group of disk drives linked as a storageset. Stripesets and mirrorsets are examples of
storageset containers that the controller uses to create units.
See also storage unit.
controller
A hardware device that, with proprietary software, facilitates communications between a
host and one or more storage devices organized in a storage array. The HS-series of the
HP StorageWorks family of controllers are all array controllers.
copying
A state in which data to be copied to the mirrorset is inconsistent with other members of the
mirrorset. See also normalizing.
copying member
Any member that joins the mirrorset after the mirrorset is created is regarded as a copying
member. After all the data from the normal member (or members) is copied to a
normalizing or copying member, the copying member then becomes a normal member. See
also normalizing member.
CSR
Control and Status Register.
