Dell PowerVault MD3060e Series, Cli Manual

Page: 25 / 226

Statement data is in the form of attribute=value (such as raidLevel=5), an attribute name (such as batteryInstallDate), or
an operation name (such as consistencyCheck).
Script Command Synopsis
Because you can use the script commands to define and manage the different aspects of a storage array (such as host
topology, physical disk configuration, RAID controller module configuration, virtual disk definitions, and disk group
definitions), the actual number of commands is extensive. The commands, however, fall into general categories that are
reused when you apply the commands to the different aspects of a storage array.
The following table lists the general form of the script commands and provides a definition of each command.
