Users Guide

Use of the equal sign (=) to specify a value to parameters is optional. For example, --name=eqlgroup1 and --name eqlgroup1
are equivalent.
Not shown in the syntax for an ASMCLI command is the --verbose option, which you can use to display more detailed information.
For more verbose output information, specify --verbose 2 or simply -vv.
Use the --help option to display arguments to parameters. Use asmcli help to display all command noun-verb pairs and options.
For more information about command-line help, see Access Help on ASMCLI Commands.
Brackets ([]) indicate that a parameter or argument is optional.
Several parameters are mutually exclusive and if more than one parameter is specified, it is treated as an error and causes the
command to fail.
The command parser takes the latest value entered when redundant options are given.
