About the Script Commands
41
NOTE:
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and
underscores for the names. Command names can have a maximum of 30
characters. If you exceed the maximum character limit, replace square brackets
([ ]) with angle brackets (< >) to overcome this limitation.
NOTE:
The
capacity
parameter returns an error if you specify a value greater than
or equal to 10 without a space separating the numeric value and its unit of measure.
(For example,
10 GB
returns an error, but
10 GB
does not return an error).
Adding Comments to a Script File
You can add comments to a script file in three ways:
• The script engine interprets as a comment any text typed after two forward
slashes (
/ /
) until an end-of-line character is reached. If the script engine
does not find an end-of-line character in the script after processing a
comment, an error message is displayed, and the script operation is
terminated. This error commonly occurs when a comment is placed at the
end of a script and you have not pressed <Enter>.

• The script engine interprets any text typed between / * and * / as a
comment. If the script engine does not find both a beginning and ending
comment notation, an error message is displayed, and the script operation
is terminated.
/* Deletes the existing configuration */
clear storageArray Configuration;
• Use the
show
statement to embed comments in a script file that you want
to display while the script file is running. Enclose the text you want to
display in quotation marks (" ").
show "Deletes the existing configuration";
clear storageArray Configuration;
