Syntax Overview
The command syntax uses the general form:
Object Command Attributes
Objects
are shell commands, controllers, units, ports (drives), BBUs (battery
backup units), and enclosures.
Commands
can either select (show, get, present, read) attributes or alter (add,
change, set, write) attributes.
Attributes
are either Boolean Attributes or Name-Value Attributes.
•
The value of a boolean attribute is deduced by presence or lack of—that
is, the attribute is either specified, or not. For example, the command
show alarms
by default lists alarms with the most recent alarm first. If
you include the attribute
reverse,
as in the command
show alarms
reverse
, alarms are listed in reverse order.
•
The value of name-value attributes are expressed in the format
attribute=value
.
