Synopsis of the
Script
Commands Because you can use the script commands to define and manage the different aspects
of a storage array (such as host topology, drive configuration, controller
configuration, volume definitions, and volume group 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 tasks to configure or
maintain a storage array. The following table lists the general form of the script
commands and a definition of each command.
