158 Using capabilities, templates and rules

Simplified syntax for rules on the command line

For convenience, rules may be expressed in the following simplified form on the

command line for the

vxassist and vxvoladm commands:

rule_name

attribute_name

value

][,...]

The following examples of rule expressions:

confineto eachof("VendorName"="EMC","Room"="Room1","Building")

select anyof("Room"="Room1","Room"="Room2","Building")

exclude allof("VendorName"="EMC","VendorName"="Hitachi")

affinity "Enclosure"

separateby "Controller"

strong separateby "Spindles"

may be expressed by equivalent simplified rule expressions:

confineto=VendorName=EMC,Room=Room1,Building

select=Room=Room1,Room=Room2,Building

exclude=VendorName=EMC,VendorName=Hitachi

affinity=Enclosure

separateby=Controller

strong separateby=Spindles

The default storage selection rules are assumed, and cannot be substituted using

the simplified form of the rule syntax.
