Use a Script to Create Smart Copies
If you use scripts for running backups or performing other background operations, you can also schedule Smart Copy creation by adding
an ASMCLI command to your existing script.
Prepare to Create the Script Commands
Prepare to create the script as follows:
• Review the information in About Schedules for more information.
• Optionally, configure email notification to alert you if scheduled Smart Copy operations fail.
See Configure Notification Settings.
• Review the available commands described in ASMCLI Commands and Their Syntax and decide which ones you want to use in your
script.
Create the Script Commands
The section contains instructions on how to create script commands using the ASMCLI.
NOTE:
Dell recommends you use the ASM PowerShell cmdlets rather than the ASMCLI to perform the functions
discussed in this section.
For more information about PowerShell cmdlets, see the Dell EqualLogic PowerShell Tools Reference Guide .
