VTL Configuration CLI Commands
Turning a VTL Online/
Offline
syscli --online (--name <VTL_name>) | --all
This CLI command allows the admin to turn a VTL online.
syscli--offline (--name <VTL_name>) | --all
This CLI command allows the admin to turn a VTL offline. A VTL needs to be
offline before you can edit or delete a partition.
List of Available Hosts
syscli --list host
This CLI command allows the CLI admin to display a list of available hosts. The
WWPN, its alias (if it was added by the user) and connection status are returned
for each host. If the host alias was not added initially, the output will indicate
that no alias was given.
An example output of a host with no alias given is shown below.

<host_alias>

The required parameters are the host's world wide port name (WWPN) and alias.
If the host already exists from the list of available hosts, adding the same host

Editing a Host

host. The required parameter are the existing host's world wide port name

Deleting a Host

host list. The required parameter is the host's WWPN. The host must be inactive
