Sample Script Files
This appendix provides sample scripts for configuring a storage array. These
examples show how the script commands appear in a complete script file. You
can copy these scripts and modify them to create a configuration unique to
your storage array.
Create a script file in two ways:
• Use the
save storageArray configuration
command
• Write a script
By using the save storageArray configuration command, you can create a file
to use to copy an existing configuration from one storage array to other
storage arrays. You can also use this file to restore an existing configuration
that has become corrupted. You can also copy an existing file to serve as a
pattern from which you create a new script file by modifying portions of the
original file. The default file extension is .scr.
Create a new script file using a text editor, such as Microsoft
®
Notepad. The
maximum line length is 256 characters. The command syntax must conform
to the guidelines in "Usage Guidelines" on page 40 and the rules in
"Command Formatting Rules" on page 106. When creating a new script file,
use any file name and extension that runs on the host operating system.
To run a script file from the command line, enter the following text:
client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -f scriptfile.scr;
Configuration Script Example 1
