About the batch functionality

In the Device Manager CLI, the processing (commands) for a storage system can be specified in a

batch file and efficiently executed at the same time. The batch functionality is useful when installing

a new storage system.

functionality

The following commands can be batch processed:

• AddExternalArrayGroup

• AddHostStorageDomain

• AddLogicalUnit

• AddLun

• AddLUSE

• AddVirtualVolume

• AddVLDEVToVRPU

• AddWWNForHostStorageDomain

• DeleteHostStorageDomain

About the creation of batch files

To use the batch functionality to execute commands, you need to create a batch file that follows the

input rules and satisfies the conditions for parameters.

There are two types of input rules: Input rules for the batch files themselves, and input rules for the

command lines in batch files. In addition, there are batch-processing conditions for command

parameters that must be satisfied.
