A user-defined entry (such as a user label) is called a variable. In the syntax, it is shown in italic (such as
enclosureD or subsystemName ).
Statement data is in the form of:
v
Parameter=value (such as
raidLevel=5
)
v
Parameter-name (such as
batteryInstallDate
)
v Operation-name (such as redundancyCheck )
Script Command Synopsis
Because you can use the script commands to define and manage the different aspects of a storage
subsystem (such as host topology, disk drive configuration, controller configuration, logical drive
definitions, and subsystem 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 subsystem. The general form of the script commands and provides a definition of
each command are listed in the following table:
