<PROPERTY name="time-stamp" type="string">2017-07-20 11:38:26</PROPERTY>
<PROPERTY name="time-stamp-numeric" type="uint32">1500550706</PROPERTY>
</OBJECT>
The following example shows the API status object, using the json output option:
"status":[
{
"object-name":"status",
"response-type":"Success",
"response-type-numeric":0,
"response":"Command completed successfully. (2017-07-20 11:38:48)", "return-code":0,
"component-id":"",
"time-stamp":"2017-07-20 11:38:48",
"time-stamp-numeric":1500550728
}
]
In a script, each command should check the previous command’s status before proceeding. If the value of the status object’s
return-code property is 0, the command succeeded; any other value means that the command failed.
NOTE: If you script an operation to repeatedly add and remove disk groups, set a delay of at least two minutes between
deleting a disk group and creating the next one.
