CLI Guide

set cli-parameters
Description Sets options that control CLI behavior. If you are accessing the CLI through the network port,
settings apply to the current CLI session only. If you are accessing the CLI through the enclosure’s
CLI port, settings persist across sessions.
The base, locale, precision, temperature scale, timeout, and units settings are read from the user’s
account, and can be overridden by using this command.

Parameters
base 2|10
Optional. Sets the base for entry and display of storage-space sizes:
● 2: Sizes are shown as powers of 2, using 1024 as a divisor for each magnitude. In base 2 when you
set a size, whether you specify a base-2 or base-10 size unit, the resulting size will be in base 2.
● 10: Sizes are shown as powers of 10, using 1000 as a divisor for each magnitude. This is the
default. In base 10 when you set a size, the resulting size will be in the specified size unit. This
option is the default.
Operating systems usually show volume size in base 2. Disk drives usually show size in base 10.
Memory (RAM and ROM) size is always shown in base 2.

Optional. Sets the output format:
● console: Supports interactive use of the CLI by displaying command output in easily readable
format. This format automatically sizes fields according to content and adjusts content to window
resizes. This is the default.
● api: Supports scripting by displaying command output in XML. All objects are displayed at the
same level, related by COMP elements.
● api-embed: Alternate form of XML output which displays “child” objects embedded (indented)
under “parent” objects. Enabling this option enables the brief parameter.
● ipa: Alternate form of XML output which displays as api-embed format with brief mode enabled.
● json: Standard JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) output.
● wbi: A JSON-like format used internally by the PowerVault Manager.
brief enabled|disabled|on|off
Optional.
● enabled or on: In XML output, this setting shows a subset of attributes of object properties.
The name and type attributes are always shown.
● disabled or off: In XML output, this setting shows all attributes of object properties. This is
the default.
