Command Line Editing
Appendix B Using the CLI 183
Command and Parameter Separation
Commands and parameters are separated with one or more spaces and/or tab
characters (white space). White space at the start and end of a command line is
ignored.
Character Case and White Space
In general, the CLI is not case-sensitive. Commands and parameters can be typed
using any combination of upper and lower case letters
1
.
However, all IQNs, iSCSI Aliases, and initiator names must be entered in lower-
case letters.
If a white space character has to be entered as part of a parameter, enclose the
parameter in a pair of double-quotes (“ ”). Everything between the quotes,
including any enclosed white space, is used as the parameter—the double-quotes
are not used as part of the parameter.
Command Line Editing
You can edit commands and parameters by using the keystrokes described in this
table.
