Parameter Definition
array configuration and the relationship between the
devices. Use the configuration file to reconstruct a
storage array).

address alert destination. The community is the SNMP
community name for the trap, and the host is the IP
address or DNS host name of the system to which you
want the trap sent.
-? Use this parameter to display usage information about the
CLI commands.
Formatting Considerations
Quotation marks (" ") used as part of a name or label require special consideration when you run the CLI and script
commands on a Microsoft Windows operating system. The following explains the use of quotation marks in names while
running CLI and script commands on Windows.
When quotation marks (" ") are part of an argument, you must insert a backslash (\) before each quotation mark
character unless you are in interactive mode. For example:
-c "set storageArray userLabel=\"Engineering\";"
where, Engineering is the storage array name.
You cannot use quotation marks (" ") as part of a character string (also called string literal) within a script command. For
example, you cannot enter the following string to set the storage array name to "Finance"Array:
-c "set storageArray userLabel=
\"\"Finance\"Array\";"
On a Linux operating system, the delimiters around names or labels are single quotation marks (‘ ’). The Linux versions of
the previous examples are:
-c ‘set storageArray userLabel="Engineering";’
Detailed Error Reporting
Error data collected from an error encountered by the CLI is written to a file. Detailed error reporting under the CLI
works as follows:
• If the CLI must abnormally end execution or abort script command execution, error data is collected and saved
before the CLI aborts.
• The CLI automatically saves the error data by writing the data to a file with a standard name.
• The CLI does not have any provisions to avoid overwriting an existing version of the file containing error data.
For error processing, errors appear as two types:
• Parameter or syntax errors you might enter
• Exceptions that occur as a result of an operational error
When the CLI encounters either type of error, it writes information describing the error directly to the command line and
sets a return code. Depending on the return code, the CLI might also write additional information about which parameter
caused the error. The CLI also writes information about what command syntax was expected to help you identify any
syntax errors you might have entered.
