1 General CLI information
Command syntax
Names. When naming physical volumes, volume groups, logical volumes, file systems, and other
cluster entities, use only alphanumeric characters and the underscore ( _ ). Do not use any other
characters unless they are specifically required in the command syntax.
Lists. Use a comma to separate list items in a command. Spaces are not allowed. In the following
command, the -s option takes a list of items:
# <installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_lv -l -s ilv1,ilv2,ilv3
Ranges. Many commands allow a range of values instead of an explicit list of values. To enter a
range, enclose the pattern to be matched in square brackets. The range specified in the following
command matches all Logical Volumes from ilv1 to ilv3:
# <installdirectory>/bin/ibrix_lv -l -s ilv[1-3]
Command messages
CLI commands typically report whether the command succeeded or failed. Some commands also
display intermediate messages about the operation being performed. For example, the
ibrix_mount command displays messages as the file system is mounted on each node. You
might also see intermediate messages reporting a partial error or a situation affecting the command,
such as an exclusive write lock temporarily blocking an operation.
