HP StorageWorks P9000 Tiered Storage Manager Software 7.1.1 CLI Reference Guide (TB585-96014, September 2011)

parameters
Parameters contain information passed to the server as part of a request. The parameters required
depend on the command requested. Each parameter consists of a name and a value.
Options common to all CLI commands
There are two kinds of options: those common to all CLI commands, and those used for only some
CLI commands. This subsection describes the options common to all CLI commands.
If an argument needs to be specified after an option, specify the argument as a single character string.
Arguments that contain spaces should be enclosed in double quotation marks, or whatever is
appropriate for the command execution environment. For example:
--output "C:\My Documents\redirect.txt"
The following table lists options common to all commands.
