Using RSWCLI Commands
The RSWCLI executable is located under the default installation folder, or the folder that you specified for HIT during
installation. The default folder is: C:\Program Files\EqualLogic\bin
You execute a command by starting the Windows Server command prompt:
1. Click Start → Run.
2. Type cmd.
3. In the command window, you can change the directory to C:\Program Files\EqualLogic\bin or add the RSWCLI
commands folder to your path by editing your Windows PATH environment variable.
NOTE: All the string parameters needs to be enclosed within double quotation marks ("").
Discover a PS Series Array
Use the rswcli ‑Discover command to discover uninitialized PS Series arrays. The command displays a list of uninitialized
PS Series array serial numbers and service tag numbers (if known).
The command syntax is as follows:
rswcli ‑Discover [‑Detail]
The [-Detail] option specifies whether RSWCLI should display the array MAC address, Host Adapter MAC address, firmware
version, and supported RAID levels for each array.
Initialize a PS Series Array
Use the rswcli ‑Initialize command to initialize an array. This command also allows you to create a new PS Series group
with the array as its first member, or to have the array join an existing group.
The command syntax is as follows:
rswcli -Initialize
-ServiceTag=service tag | -SerialNumber=serial number
-MemberName=member name
-MemberIPEth0=IP address
-MemberSubnet=subnet mask
-MemberGateway=IP address
-CreateGroup | -JoinGroup -GroupName=group name
-GroupIP=IP address
-Membership=password
-RAID=10|50|6|6-accelerated
-Admin=group admin password
-ChapUser=CHAP username
-ChapSecret=CHAP password
-DCBVlanID=data center bridging VLAN ID
The following table describes the command parameters.
