IBM TotalStorage DS300 and DS400 Best Practices Guide
A.1.2.1 Character Case and White Space
The CLI is not case-sensitive. Commands and parameters can be typed using
any combination of upper and lower case letters 1. All IQNs, iSCSI Aliases, and
initiator names must be entered in lower-case letters.
Commands and parameters are separated with one or more spaces and/or tab
characters (white space). White space at the start and end of a command line is
ignored.
If a white space character has to be entered as part of a parameter, enclose the
parameter in a pair of quotes (" "). Everything between the quotes, including any
enclosed white space, is used as the parameter (the quotes are not used as part
of the parameter).
A.1.2.2 Command Completion and Abbreviation
You can request a command completion at any time by pressing the Tab key.
If, after considering what has been typed on the line up to the tab, there is only
one word that can legally be entered, that word is added to the end of the line. In
cases where several words can be entered, these are listed and the line
redisplayed. If these words have a common root, it is added to the line. If there
are no words that can be legally added, the line does not change.
Sometimes, the complete list of options cannot be printed, such as with a range
of numbers, or a class of objects. In this case, a description enclosed in < > is
shown (e.g. <name>).
Sometimes, when a list of numbers is given, a description will be added in angle
brackets to make clear what is being asked for (e.g., <stripedepth>, as shown in
the example below):
dual-ip3[B]# array create a2 raid5 <TAB>
1024 16 32 64
128 256 512 <stripedepth>
Most commands and parameters can be abbreviated to their shortest unique
abbreviation. For example, if you are in the Operator level and want to change to
the Administrator level, all you have to type is ad as there are no other
commands starting with "ad".
A.1.2.3 Command Format in This Guide
In this Guide, a value shown in italics describes the type of the value. Otherwise,
the string itself is the value. For example,
int
means any integer, whereas
int
means the string
int
.
