IBM System Storage DS3000: Introduction and Implementation Guide
Running the CLI
There are two ways to enter commands to the DS3000 - interactively using SMcli, or by
creating saved scripts with the Scripting Editor. We will describe SMcli in “General SMcli
syntax” on page 541.
Script Editor
The Script Editor allows you to create and save files of commands from the CLI, so you can
batch execute or schedule them.
1. To start the Script Editor, from Storage Manager select Tools
→
Execute Script as shown
in Figure C-1
Figure C-1 Invoke Script Editor
2. A blank Script Editor appears, as in Figure C-2 on page 540. From here you can enter
commands and save them for later execution.
Figure C-2 Script Editor window.

→
Load Script to save and retrieve script files that
you create respectively. The Tools menu includes options to verify the syntax and run the
scripts, as shown in Figure C-3 on page 541.
