Introduction
Parameter
Although some commands have optional parameters, parameters
are usually mandatory. You must place optional parameters after
mandatory parameters at the end of the command. For example,
the array remove failover command has one required
scsi_device parameter and additional optional scsi_device
parameters: array remove failover {array}
{scsi_device} [{scsi_device}...].
As with switch values, parameters can be of only one type. For
example, the array parameter can take only an integer value.
All parameters are separated by blank space. A space can be used
in a parameter only within a quoted string.
Blank Space
Blank space is one or more spaces or tabs.
Parameter and Switch Value Types
A parameter or switch value can be only one of several types.
Simple value types include string, Boolean, and integer. Other
value types include objects that can be manipulated, such as arrays
(or arrays) and SCSI devices. This section explains the CLI
parameter and switch value types.
Boolean
A boolean has a value of either TRUE or FALSE and can be specified
with any of the following key words:
■ TRUE can be specified with TRUE, 1, ON, or YES. For switches,
you can also specify TRUE by using the switch without any
switch value. For example, /readonly and /readonly=TRUE
are identical.
■ FALSE can be specified with FALSE, 0, OFF, or NO. When a
switch is not specified, it takes the default value (usually,
FALSE) specified in the switch description section of a
command. For example, open
aac0 is the same as
open /readonly=FALSE
aac0.
