Windows:
SMcli -n "Payroll_Array" -c "set storageArray userLabel=\"Finance_Array\";"
Linux:
SMcli -n ‘Payroll_Array’ -c ‘set storageArray userLabel="Finance_Array";’
This example shows how to delete an existing virtual disk and create a new virtual disk on a storage array.
The existing virtual disk name is
Stocks_<_Bonds . The new virtual disk name is Finance. The RAID
controller module host names are finance1 and finance2 . The storage array is protected and requires the
password TestArray .
Windows:
SMcli finance1 finance2 -c "set session password= \"TestArray\"; delete
virtualDisk [\"Stocks_<_Bonds\"];create virtualDisk physicalDiskCount[3]
raidLevel=5 capacity=10 GB userLabel=\"Finance\"; show storageArray
healthStatus;"
Linux:
SMcli finance1 finance2 -c ‘set session password= delete virtualDisk
["Stocks_<_Bonds"]; create virtualDisk physicalDiskCount[3] raidLevel=5
capacity=10 GB userLabel="Finance"; show storageArray healthStatus;’
This example shows how to run commands in a script file named scriptfile.scr on a storage array named
Example . The -e parameter runs the file without checking syntax. Executing an
SMcli
command without
checking syntax enables the file to run more quickly; however, the
SMcli
command may not execute
correctly if the syntax is incorrect.
SMcli -n Example -f scriptfile.scr -e
This example shows how to run commands in a script file named scriptfile.scr on a storage array named
Example . In this example, the storage array is protected by the password My_Array . Output, as a result of
commands in the script file, goes to file output.txt.
Windows:
SMcli -n Example -f scriptfile.scr -p "My_Array" - o output.txt
Linux:
SMcli -n Example -f scriptfile.scr -p ‘My_Array’ - o output.txt
This example shows how to display all storage arrays that are currently discovered in the current
configuration. The command in this example returns the host name of each storage array.
SMcli -d
If you want to know the IP address of each storage array in the configuration, add the -i parameter to the
command.
SMcli -d -i
