Terminal Definition
host-name-or-IP-
address
Specifies either the host name or the Internet Protocol (IP) address
(
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
) of an in-band managed storage array or an
out-of-band managed storage array.

If you are managing a storage array by using a host through in-band
storage management, you must use the
-n
terminal or the
-w
terminal if
more than one storage array is connected to the host.

If you are managing a storage array by using out-of-band storage
management through the Ethernet connection on each controller, you
must specify the
host-name-or-IP-address
of the controllers.

If you have previously configured a storage array in the Enterprise
Management Window, you can specify the storage array by its
user-supplied name by using the
-n
terminal.

If you have previously configured a storage array in the Enterprise
Management Window, you can specify the storage array by its World
Wide Identifier (WWID) by using the
-w
terminal.
-A
Adds a storage array to the configuration file. If you do not add the 
-A
terminal with a
host-name-or-IP-address
, auto-discovery scans
the local subnet for storage arrays.
-a
Adds a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap destination or
an email address alert destination.

When you add an SNMP trap destination, the SNMP community is
automatically defined as the community name for the trap, and the
host
is the IP address or Domain Name Server (DNS) host name of the
system to which the trap should be sent.

When you add an email address for an alert destination, the
email-address
is the email address to which you want the alert
message to be sent.
-c
Indicates that you are entering one or more script commands to run on the
specified storage array. End each command with a semicolon (
;
). You
cannot place more than one
-c
terminal on the same command line. You can
include more than one script command after the
-c
terminal.
-d
Shows the contents of the script configuration file. The file content has this
format:
storage-system-name host-name1 host-name2
-e
Runs the commands without performing a syntax check first.
-F
(uppercase) Specifies the email address from which all alerts will be sent.
