HP 6G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide

Executing commands
Configuration changes are made on a transaction basis. To prevent conflict with another
administrator making changes through a different VSM GUI or CLI session, you must indicate when
you are starting, saving, or clearing your changes by using the following commands:
<TARGET> startupdate
<TARGET> saveupdate
<TARGET> clearupdate
• Before entering add, create, delete, or modify commands, enter startupdate to start
the transaction.
• After entering the add, create, delete, or modify commands, enter saveupdate to
commit the transaction.
